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
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.

Tips:
- Opt for firm, mild-flavored fish fillets: Choose fish like tilapia, cod, haddock, or flounder. These fillets hold their shape well during cooking and complement the delicate flavor of the crab stuffing.
- Prepare the crab stuffing with care: Ensure the crabmeat is fresh and flaked into large pieces. Finely chop the vegetables and herbs to evenly distribute flavors. Season the stuffing generously to enhance its taste.
- Stuff the fish fillets gently: Create a pocket in the center of each fillet without tearing it. Fill the pocket with the prepared crab stuffing, but avoid overstuffing to prevent the fillets from bursting during cooking.
- Secure the stuffed fillets: Use toothpicks or skewers to secure the opening of the fillets, ensuring the stuffing stays intact during cooking. This also helps keep the fillets from falling apart.
- Cook the stuffed fillets carefully: Bake or pan-fry the stuffed fillets according to the recipe instructions. Be careful not to overcook the fish, as it can become dry and tough. The internal temperature of the fish should reach 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.
