We were trying to figure out what to have for dinner a couple of days ago while wandering around "The Farm" where we shop. As we passed the prepared food cases, we spotted a tray of "Tilapia stuffed with crabmeat." This is NOT that dish! THAT dish was a small piece of Tilapia with a pile of imitation crabmeat piled high on top. I don't know why we bought a serving, but we did. It was huge so we split it. It was pretty much tasteless. I mean, what did we expect, with imitation crabmeat. So I set about making the real thing. They had no tilapia, so I bought two flounder filets and a can of crabmeat, and looked up a recipe on the internet. THIS is the result. It was absolutely awesome! And I cooked it. I am a genius in the kitchen... :-)
I am very impressed. I knew you were a master of salmon on the outdoor grill, but did not know you cooked in the oven! :-)
ReplyDeleteThis looks and sounds delicious. Something I may have eaten at Scribner's but never tried to make at home. Maybe, I'll start looking on the internet. Great job kitchen genie!

Oh I haven't made this dish in years. I cooked for company a few times. I looked in my recipe box to see if there was a date on it. No such luck. My recipe had a white wine, swiss cheese and cream sauce. I think I will be buying some flounder soon to cook this again because your photo is making me drool :-) Glad you decided to cook it! betsey
ReplyDeleteFlounder stuffed with Crabmeat was my go-to seafood dinner when I was living up North anytime I saw it on a restaurant menu. Your rendition looks like the best I've ever seen. Yum!
ReplyDeleteWow, wow, wow.. Thank you all for your nice comments. I was actually surprised at how good it was! I need to trust myself in the kitchen... :-)
