    Idk how anyone can screw this recipe up, I started making this when I was about 16...easiest thing in the world to make! We're not big on alcohol so we substitute chicken broth and we live in vegas so we use tilapia (yeah I know not really flounder and it is just awesome!!

    I do believe this is my favorite recipe that I've made so far since watching Good Eats show. I really love the sauce that goes on it. Only tough part is finding flounder, either fresh or frozen, still worth the effort.

    TASTY? YES! This was such a great go to fish casserole recipe (few and far between I was so skeptical putting fish and cheese together - and my picky hubby was the other obstacle...Both went off with flying colors!!! Wow - the only thing I `changed was the cheddar - I put fresh grated parm instead to make more of a alfredo sauce. I did everything else exactly. used Brown rice leftover and it gave a nice texture to the dish. The whole thing was gone! (there is just my husband and I and our four year old, who ate it also without complaints Served it with an asparagus salad....YUM! I can't imagine what you people did out there to sabotage the recipe to make it so aweful....hmmmm.

    I am on the Whole 30 challenge (google it- Its a paleo diet= nothing processed, no dairy, no grains, no sugars, no legumes, no starches, no alcohol for 30 days and was able to make a Paleo-friendly version of this that was super delicious! I skipped the butter and used olive oil, used fresh spinach instead of frozen, and skipped the wine and cheese and used lemon juice and olive oil. I laid them over fresh forked cauliflower instead of rice and I also added mushrooms in with the onion and spinach for more flavor. Turned out fabulous, will make again!

    Following some other suggestions I used noodles instead of rice... My fish was also too small to roll up, so I laid it on the bed of noodles and topped it with the 'stuffing,' I was out of parsley but I did have some dill so I threw some dill in the sauce because I really like dill with fish....Also, to add another textural element I put some panko breadcrumbs on top of the dish during the last 10 minutes of cooking... Turned out pretty good, maybe less sauce than I would have liked for the dish because my bottom noodles weren't very saucy, but overall pretty tasty. Not amazing, but good. Breadcrumbs were a nice addition in my opinion because without it's all the same texture...

    I followed this exactly as you said and changed only two things.
    Fresh baby spinach and fettuccine instead of rice and it's outstanding!!

    Delicious! Not only is this really good, it's easy to make even for the not so cooking inclined. The lemon is a perfect touch to this and when you mix the cream, wine and cheese, it's so cheesy that it would make the Melting Pot cry! The rice makes this a VERY filling meal. What I did though which was slightly different, I had caught eight flounder that weren't very big, so I used a 9x13" pan and made a bed of rice. I laid the fish over the rice and covered them with the spinach mixture followed by the cheese sauce. It turned out well. Fresh out of the oven, it is well deserving of 5 stars, but not great leftovers.

    I must say, some of the reviews scared me off from trying this, but I was feeling brave and had all the ingredients at hand. Plus, Alton Brown spoke at my college graduation, so I feel I owe him a chance ;.
    I actually mixed the flounder in the spinach mix to bring flavor all around, and then rolled it. I made sure to have most of my ingredients measured out prior as to make sure I could put the cheese and wine sauce on the fish while it was still simmering as to prevent chunkiness. Only thing was I feel the rice and fish blended together TOO well, so I might do a wild rice or something else like someone suggested. Definitely a meal worth trying, but not necessarily to die for.

    Quite possibly, one of the most disgusting dishes I have ever made. I am a huge A-B fan, and try most of his recipes...(most are VERY, VERY good. However, I made this dish last night (following the recipe exactly, took one bite of it then threw it away and had to go pick up fast food burgers for the family. This dish is absolutely horrible...I don't see any way to fix it. You would have to PAY me to take another bite of it.

    Made this and worked well. Be careful about the sauce though. Do not let it cool before you put it on the fish or it will solidify. I felt that it needed more flavor so I squeezed some of the lemon that I zested over the fish. It helps. Overall easy and good eats.
