I'd stuff as well.

As for the grill, flounder is fairly delicate and may be tough to grill. You should be okay if you do it with the skin on to hold it together, that's why I asked.

What Woody said. Scale them and put stuffing between the fillets, butter, lemon juice and some seasoning blend on the fillets before stuffing, run under the broiler, basting with butter frequently until the meat just turns white. Make sure your stuffing is mostly already cooked and room temp before stuffing...

I usually bake mine rather than broiling, and an average size flounder will take 30-45 minutes at 350 depending on size of the fish. I'm not sure about broiling, but it will prob be a little quicker.

6 and 8 pounds are nice flounder, where were you fishing?

Oh, and many people only stuff the top side and forget about the bottom, but I stuff both. The bottom of the fish is tastier than the top, IMO. Your stuffing doesn't really cook well down there though, so you may want to partially bake it first.

So I've been told (only go out about once a year and rarely get flounder)

There is a ton of meat on them.
