Crab Meat Stuffed Fillet of Sole

Crab Meat Stuffed Fillet of Sole

Last week as I was walking past the fresh Seafood Counter in my local grocery store, Big Y, the Fillet of Sole sure caught my eye!  Suddenly, I recalled a recipe that I had not baked for a number of years:  Crab Meat Stuffed Fillet of Sole.  Yum!

Quite a while ago so long ago that my older son would ride in the grocery cart while we were doing our weekly shopping the always cheerful, helpful woman at Food Mart's Seafood Counter would see me every week.  One day as I glanced at the Fillet of Sole, she asked if I had ever baked Stuffed Sole.  I responded that I had not.  She then went on to explain how EASY it was.

She had no name for this recipe - just verbal instructions.  Oh, it was worth a try - I was learning how to deal with Fish and if you do not try - you do not learn.  I baked the fish using my new recipe that evening.  It was delicious - scrumptious!  The next week I went back to the Seafood Counter and purchased another 1 lb. of Fillet of Sole.  Once again, we dined on Stuffed Fillet of Sole, but I added about 6 oz. of canned Crab Meat into the stuffing... Crab Meat Stuffed Fillet of Sole!  

Out of the Oven... Ready for Dinner

Every so often I remember this recipe that I made so often, years ago... sometimes with, sometimes without the Crab.  A few months ago canned Crab meat was on sale, so I purchased 2 cans, with this recipe in mind!
