Flat Fish Fiasco

Doesn't look particularly appetizing eh? I really should have my radar up when a recipe has the word 'style' in it, as in Thai-Style Flounder in this case. The closest it got to being Thai was with the coconut milk and ginger, but that's not exactly Thai specific, eh? I learned long ago that a lot of those "Chinese" recipes out there are just plain nasty, and even those Americans that claim to love Chinese food, don't really know what Chinese food is all about. Not to insult such people (how would they know, ya know?), but more as an illustration of how a recipe can fail to meet expectations. This recipe turned out to be too simple in taste to match the quickness by which this meal can be brought to table. It neither smelled delicious in the oven nor felt delicious going down. I can't say it looked deceptively delicious either. What I had hoped to be a promising meal became flatter than the flounder itself. Ah well.
