"Now, you may think all Italian mothers can cook. My mother was great at many things, but not in the kitchen. I do have fond memories of her making this flounder though—and it was her favorite—which makes it dear to me."
—Joe Gurrera
Citarella's Owner & Original Fishmonger, author of JOE KNOWS FISH
