Very, very good! Yum! I sadly realized I was out of sherry after I started making this, so now I'm looking forward to making it again, the correct way. Can't imagine it possibly getting any better though!

This was awesome! I did a search on google and found like 10 zillion recipes. The website address made me pull up this one, and boy I was happy about it! I altered the recipe slightly. I used a 14 oz package of mushrooms, about 1 1/2 cups crab meat, didn't have any parsley, and used "normal" breadcrumbs out of the carton. The key to the flavor is the Sherry (I used Golden Sherry), and then blending of the ingredients. Wonderful flavor! Thanks for sharing such a great recipe. I look forward to making this one on a regular basis!

Served this for a large football party. Rave reviews - even from vegetarians, and Atkins followers. Use LARGE mushrooms, or plan to make 25 -30, this makes alot of stuffing!
