Got into a real good spot and caught about 16 redfish all around 20-28" and flounder were mixed in there also. Kept three for lunch and dinner. Kept the two flounder to fry whole and they met with hot spicy chilli oil on top.

Good stuff. Whole fried? What cleaning do you do first? Guts?

What kind of area did you catch the reds? Creek, ICW, flat, etc. What was the tide?
Good catch prayot. I like frying them whole as well.

Scale em, then cut head off & gut. Then cut a checkerboard pattern on both sides down to the bones making about 1 1/2" squares.
Then take & season with whatever you like & hit the oil. The square pieces lift right out with a fork. Cooks nice & even too.

I was fishing off the broad river close to my house on Laurel Bay. Took my flats boat deep in the creeks at lowtide, essentially i was stuck in there with the Reds since the water was only about 1-3 foot deep in certain spots but the rest of the creek or cut that goes to the broad was bone dry with mounds of oysters. So i was just poling around catching reds and flounder like crazy. I was using DOA shrimp in root beer color, ghost white and a green/sparkle mix. They wouldn’t touch the mud minnows i had or cut mullet. THey were slamming the DOA shrimp and some gulp though!!
I just take out the guts on the flounder and throw em in some hot peanut oil and then i take some chilli oil and get that real hot and throw some garlic,scallion’s and then just pour that on the fish when it’s done and just watch the fish start “craklin” super delicious. The reds I just fillet and eat them on the half shell.

Great job! Those are some beautiful fish.
