How do you make crab stuffed flounder?

Crabmeat stuffed flounder is a delicious seafood dish where flounder fillets are rolled with a flavorful mixture of crab meat, breadcrumbs, and various seasonings. The stuffing typically includes ingredients like mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, and herbs, which enhance the delicate flavor of the flounder. 

Use fresh lump crab meat for the best flavor and texture.

Don’t skimp on seasoning! Old Bay seasoning is a classic choice for seafood, but feel free to experiment with your favorite herbs and spices.

Avoid making the stuffing too wet. The right balance of mayonnaise and breadcrumbs will help it hold together without becoming soggy.

When rolling the flounder, try to keep the filling tight but not overly packed. This helps maintain the shape while cooking.

A lightly greased baking dish will help prevent sticking and make for easier serving.

Flounder cooks quickly; when the fish flakes and is opaque it is done. Overcooking can make it tough.

These sides will be the perfect complement to this meal. 

• Vegetable side dishes such as steamed or roasted asparagus, green beans, or broccoli add color and nutrients.

• Brown Rice, a wild rice pilaf, or a creamy risotto recipe can provide a satisfying base.
• Garlic mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes, or potato gratin make for hearty accompaniments.
