WHY FISH FOR FLOUNDER IN OCEAN CITY?
Ocean City, MD is well-known for its back bay and inlet fishing, and flounder are among the most sought-after species throughout the season. These unique, flat-bodied fish are not only exciting to catch but also delicious — their light, flaky filets are excellent grilled, fried, or broiled.
