CRAB STUFFED FISH

I love this dish I got it off of the T.V years ago and I make it often. I normally use a whitefish of some sort. Tilapia or Flounder are my favorites. I usually serve with rice and steamed vegetable. It's filled with flavor and is pretty easy to make. I could eat the stuffing all by it's self. A lot of times I double the stuffing but it's up to you what you think.

This truly is so tasty and impresses everyone who has had it. I chop everything and then it comes together easily. I am not sure where I even got this recipe it has been so long. I have used haddock, cod, flounder and orange roughy and they all were great with this recipe.

SHRIMP AND CRAB STUFFED FISH



Shrimp and Crab Stuffed Fish image

The original recipe uses trout, but I really like it with a nice, firm white fish like grouper or snapper. The shrimp and crabmeat stuffing should hold together loosely. It calls for 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp fine, dry bread crumbs, but I couldn't get Zaar to take that. If necessary, you can add up to 1/2 cup additional fine, dry breadcrumbs to the stuffing mixture to achieve your desired consistency.

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup green pepper, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 lb crabmeat, drained and flaked (fresh is preferred over canned)
1/4 lb frozen cooked salad shrimp, thawed
1/4 cup fine dry breadcrumb
2 tablespoons fine dry breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
1 tablespoon fresh chives, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 3/4 lbs fish fillets, preferably snapper, grouper, mahi mahi, trout (4 nice sized fillets)

Steps:

  • Saute the onion, green pepper, and garlic in 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until tender. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in the crabmeat, shrimp, breadcrumbs, parsley, chives, salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Cut a slit in the middle of each fish fillet, being careful not to cut all the way through the fillet. Brush the cavity with 2 tbsp melted butter; spoon the reserved crabmeat stuffing evenly into the fish.
  • Place fish in an shallow 3-quart baking dish that has been sprayed lightly with cooking spray; cover and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
  • Uncover and bake an additional 30 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. (Thinner fillets will require less time) Serve immediately.

Provided by Food Network

Time 2h25m

Yield 8 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 small cloves garlic, whole
12 black peppercorns
Salt to taste
8 thin red snapper, sea bass, grouper, or sole fillets, 5 ounces each
Shredded crab from recipe above
1 1/4 pounds small shrimp, shelled
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
1 green bell pepper, sliced
8 limes, halved

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a baking sheet. Prepare the fish: Puree garlic with peppercorns and salt. Spread on fish, and marinate for 1 hour. Meanwhile, prepare the stuffing: Make the crab recipe, adding shrimp. Cook until the mixture thickens. Spread crab over fish, and roll loosely. Place rolls on baking sheet. Mix mayonnaise with lime juice. Cover each fish roll with 3 tablespoons mayonnaise mixture. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until the fish is golden brown. To serve, arrange fish rolls on platter. Garnish with parsley, pepper, and limes. Serve with rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: Firm, flaky fish like tilapia, cod, or halibut work best for stuffing.
  • Season the fish inside and out: Use a flavorful combination of herbs, spices, and salt and pepper.
  • Don't overstuff the fish: The stuffing should be a complement to the fish, not the main event.
  • Bake the fish at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the fish from drying out.
  • Serve the fish immediately: Stuffed fish is best enjoyed hot out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Crab-stuffed fish is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With a few simple tips, you can create a restaurant-quality meal at home. So next time you're looking for a seafood dish that will impress your guests, give crab-stuffed fish a try.
