Flounder is best used fresh. Store it in the refrigerator immediately after purchase. Wrap the flounder tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. Ideally, consume within 1-2 days for optimal quality. For longer storage, you can freeze flounder. Wrap it tightly to prevent freezer burn, and it can last for several months. Thaw it in the refrigerator before cooking.
