Ingredients

  • 6 flounder fillets, 9 ounces each
  • Salt
  • White pepper
  • 24 ounces Lynnhaven Crab Stuffing, recipe follows
  • 1 cup toasted bread crumbs
  • Paprika
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup water
  • Parsley leaves, for garnish
  • Lemon wedges, for garnish

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Split each fillet in 1/2 to make a top and bottom portion of the fish. Lightly season the bottom portions with salt and pepper. Place 4 ounces crab stuffing on bottom portion. Place the top portion of fish on top of crab stuffing. Place in a baking dish. Sprinkle lightly with salt, pepper, bread crumbs, and paprika. Top with melted butter so as to moisten all of the crumbs. Place a little water in the baking dish. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until done. Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges.

Lynnhaven Crab Stuffing:

14 ounces blue crab backfin crabmeat

1 5/8 ounces blue crab claw meat

1 egg, beaten

1 1/4 ounces high quality mayonnaise, by volume

3/8-ounce apple cider vinegar

1 1/4 teaspoons sugar

Dry Ingredients:

3/8 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning

1/8 teaspoon salt

Pinch white pepper

1 1/4 teaspoons all-purpose flour

1 1/4 teaspoons cornstarch

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 1/4 teaspoons dry mustard

1 1/4 teaspoons dry parsley flakes

1 cup Japanese bread crumbs (panko)

Being careful to not break apart lumps, pick the crabmeat free of shells. Refrigerate in mixing bowl. Whisk together the egg, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and sugar, and set aside or refrigerate if not used immediately.

Thoroughly combine the dry ingredients. Mix dry ingredients into the crab meat, trying not to break up or mash the lumps of crab. Gently work the wet ingredients into the mix. Chill immediately.

    I just KNOW it would have been better if I didn't have to use Alaskan snow crab surimi, haha. I recently moved and I don't have any measuring spoons or anything, so I pretty much had to guess at measurements (which I'm not that great at. I had almost all the ingredients and decided to make this is it still came out just wonderful. I like lemon juice on fish so I skipped the garnishing and used the juice on top, haha. I definately will be making this again... THE RIGHT WAY!

    with any recipe! this was a very nice recipe and tasted like you would expect like I believe another reviewer mentioned. Careful not to dry out the flounder - do not overcook. A little old bay could help if that is what you like!
