crab stuffed flounder
I didn't have a recipe available when I started this and didn't write anything down - just what and how much for each step as I was making this but when it turned out so delicious and was so well received - I tried to recreate it from memory so I could recreate it another time. Hope I haven't left anything out, because it really was fabulous.
