Purplegirl! I had to do a google search for you kasi I can't access your profile... this effort lead me to Lasang Pinoy. And then I remembered and got your link from my gmail. I'm getting old. hehehe. I'll add you to my links.

Item 13... flounder... wasn't this Ariel's companion in Disney's Little Mermaid? hehehe.

How did it taste like? When I saw the parrotfish in the market, I was surprised that it was being sold as food. I thought it was just an ornamental fish. So.. the same case with the flounder, eh?

watson: kamusta na? yes, flounder! it's a very popular fish here in the US. and one of the most expensive pa! very tasty. similar in taste sa tilapia. they fry, grill, broil or bake it.
