    Mr. Brown, you are a five-day wonder! This is the third of your three best recipes ever (along with turkey and city ham. I followed your directions exactly at first, then used different spices to see which I liked best. It really doesn't matter, it's the taste of the three fishes that makes all the difference. I make it as presented for dinner; and also use smaller pieces of fish to make remarkable hors d'oeuvres.

    Haven't made this yet but plan to. I did find the episode on youtube where Alton makes this recipe if you want to see how its done. I learn best by seeing. I can't post the link but go to youtube and search Alton Brown Fit to be tied. There are two videos. Its the one with the fish on a baking sheet in the thumbnail.

    This sounds wonderful - I'd love to see a picture of either the roll or the flower version.

    I did this recipe four or five times and then started "experimenting" with it.
    I tried several different things like horseradish, vermouth (don't ask, but FINALLY hit on something that "kicks it up a notch" - pardon the pun.
    * Zest out one whole lemon. Sprinkle some of the zest in with the dill etc. Then when you make your compound butter, put a teaspoon of the zest in with that mixture and man!!...

    Making the roll was a lot easier with my husband helping! I tried to roll it alone, but it kept coming apart. The finished product is delicious, but if you can get help in the kitchen for this one, I'd recommend it.

    Love love LOVE this recipe! Rolling gets easier the more times you make it.I love this dish. My only advice is, use fresh parsley in the compound butter, too. Dried is flavorless!

    This dish is just fantastic! My family is big on fish but are picky and all of them just loved it. It can be hard to roll but once you get it down it is a dish you will want to make over and over again.

    Everyone is wowed by the presentation of this recipe. Its is delicious and relatively easy to make. My ony gripes are it is hard to find the salmon fillets where I live, and the flounder turns to goo if there are leftovers for a second day.
