Author’s Note: These are my own weird little opinions. I have no affiliation with Aldi<\/a>, and this is not a sponsored review.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fish for folks who don’t love fish.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you love fish? Are you hungry? Maybe this product isn’t for you. The filets aren’t very filling. And I got 6 filets instead of the 8 suggested by the product label. I brutally dragged Costco for selling tiny chunks of their Gluten Free Breaded Cod<\/a>. But this is worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A serving only has 6 grams of protein. Yes, you heard me. Six! I’ve seen slices of bread with more protein. C’mon, Aldi!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway. Aside from the portion size, I really like<\/em> these frozen Parmesan Crusted Flounder Fillets. In fact, this might be my favorite<\/em> item from Aldi’s Fremont Fish Market store-brand. So far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fresh and flavorful<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fish is super fresh-tasting (much less “fishy” than these frozen flounder fillets without breading<\/a> from the same Fremont brand). I think even wicked fish-haters might be wooed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meat is tender and moist. It has a fairly neutral flavor (especially<\/em> for flounder, which can sometimes<\/em> taste strong), and is seasoned enough that I didn’t want any extra salt or sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, the filet is so thin, I definitely felt that there was a high ratio of breading to meat. It’s not even a particularly thick<\/em> breading; it’s the super-thinness of the fish filet that makes it seem like “a lot.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Not very cheesy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately<\/em>, said breading is crisp and securely attached to the fillets (unlike this breading from Aldi’s Macadamia Nut Crusted Flounder; review here)<\/a>. It has a light, pleasant flavor that doesn’t scream “cheese,” but doesn’t make me mad, either. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately<\/em>, “parmesan and romano” cheese is pretty far down the ingredients list, somewhere after “salt.” Hmmph! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is my fork crooked?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I served mine with a side of Main St Bistro Scalloped Potatoes (review here)<\/a>, and some fresh, buttered brussels sprouts from Publix. (As much as I loooove Aldi produce<\/a>, I have not had good luck with their brussels sprouts. It’s worth the extra money to buy from Publix. And you know it pains me to say that.)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
