Crab Stuffed Fish Fillets

jellyko's Note:

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.

Wonderful. I had flounder with stuffed crab meat last weekend at an exclusinve restaurant and I found this recipe to try. This is as good or better than it was. Will definately fix it again :)
