Another FRESH and ORGANIC catch brought home by the hubby!!! I am a big fan of flounder and always like trying new things with fish. The fisherman his self requested crab stuffed flounder. So I started looking around at recipes. None really made my mouth water. They all had too much breading, mayo or sauce which takes away from the yummy lump crab meat. Not to mention crab is not easy on the wallet... So you don't want to cover up its great flavor with bread crumbs and sauce. So I took parts and what I thought should be good and made my own and it turned out good!!! The hubby did say to add cheese of some kind next time though. I'm not sure that's my cup if tea but ill try it.
He really liked it the way it was though so did I!
Crab Stuffed Flounder:
3-4 Fillets of flounder
8 oz lump crabmeat
6 saltines crushed up
1/4 cup Panko bread crumbs
1/8 cup onion finely chopped
2 tbs celery finely chopped
1 tbs Fresh dill
1 tbs scallions
1 large egg
1/2 cup mayo
2 tbs Worcershire sauce
2 tbs yellow mustard
2 tbs old bay seasoning (split up)
1 tbs garlic salt
Salt & pepper to taste
Olive oil
1tbs Butter melted
Cut slit in center of fish fillet to make hole. You can also place meat on top if its a thiner fillet. Olive oil on both sides. Salt and pepper on bottom and part of old bay and garlic salt the top.
Mix crackers, bread crumbs, herbs, veggies, and crab together.
In another bowl mix all left ingredient but butter. Then pour over crab mixture and and gently mix. Make in to cakes and place in hole and / or on top of flounder.
Bake 350 for 10-15 minutes, broil at end for 3 min to crisp up cake but, be carful not to over cook fish. Pour butter over fish after remove from oven.
Enjoy!
