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.

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

  • Stir in the crabmeat, shrimp, breadcrumbs, parsley, chives, salt and pepper. Set aside.

  • 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-fleshed fish like cod, halibut, or tilapia work best for stuffing.
  • Prepare the fish properly: Clean and gut the fish, but leave the skin intact. Make a pocket in the fish's belly by carefully slicing along the backbone.
  • Make a flavorful stuffing: Combine crab meat with a variety of ingredients like breadcrumbs, herbs, spices, and vegetables. You can also add cooked rice or quinoa for a more filling stuffing.
  • Stuff the fish: Spoon the stuffing into the fish's belly cavity. Be careful not to overstuff the fish, as this can make it difficult to cook evenly.
  • Bake or grill the fish: Baked crab-stuffed fish is a classic, but you can also grill it for a smoky flavor. Bake the fish at 350°F for 20-30 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the stuffing is heated through. If grilling, cook the fish over medium heat for 10-12 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  • Serve the fish: Crab-stuffed fish can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice. You can also drizzle the fish with melted butter or a lemon-herb sauce.

Conclusion:

Crab-stuffed fish is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. 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's both impressive and easy to make, give crab-stuffed fish a try.
