1 Red Snapper about 4 to 5 pounds

Olive oil and butter
2 onions (large)
Liver of fish or chicken liver

Saute the chopped onions and the liver until it is golden in color. Add the pine nuts and rice. Add some water or fish stock. Cook rice about seventy percent. Stuff the fish from the head to the belly. Fill the whole cavity. Sew the cavity shut to prevent the stuffing from leaking out. Add some thick sliced potatoes to the bottom of the pan.

Provided by Chef Kate

Categories     Crawfish

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 lb unsalted butter
1 lb medium shrimp, raw, peeled, deveined
12 large mushroom caps
3/4 cup green onion, chopped
1 lb crayfish tail
1/2 cup white wine
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
4 bay leaves (preferably fresh)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leave
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 large egg, beaten lightly
2/3 cup milk
1 cup flour
6 (6 ounce) red snapper fillets
oil, for sauteing

Steps:

  • To make the sauce.
  • In a large saucepan, melt the butter.
  • Add the shrimp and mushroom caps and cook for ten minutes over medium low heat.
  • Add green onions, crawfish tails, wine, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, thyme, pepper and salt, and simmer gently for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • As the sauce is cooking.
  • In a shallow bowl, mix the beaten egg with the milk to create an egg wash.
  • Place the flour in a second shallow bowl or plate.
  • Place a large skillet over medium heat and warm the oil.
  • Dip each fish fillet in the egg wash and dredge in the flour.
  • Pan fry until a light golden brown, turning once.
  • Place the fillets on serving plates and top with sauce.
  • Note: The Caribbean Room serves these with tiny boiled potatoes with parsley.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh red snapper fillets. If you can't find red snapper, you can substitute another firm-fleshed fish, such as grouper or tilapia.
  • To make the stuffing, be sure to use day-old bread. This will help the stuffing to bind together and prevent it from becoming too soggy.
  • If you don't have any white wine, you can substitute chicken broth or vegetable broth.
  • Be careful not to overcook the fish. Red snapper is a delicate fish and it can easily become dry if it is overcooked.
  • Serve the stuffed red snapper immediately with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or salad.

Conclusion:

Caribbean stuffed red snapper is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of the delicate fish, the flavorful stuffing, and the rich sauce is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting seafood dish to try, give Caribbean stuffed red snapper a try. You won't be disappointed!
