Storage:
Refrigerator: Store leftover flounder in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap. It will last in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. If you need to store it for longer, you can freeze it.
Freezer: To freeze, place the tightly wrapped fish in a freezer bag or freezer-safe container. If properly stored, it will last about 2 months. When you’re ready to eat it, thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
