Something different and quite good. Next time I think I would mix the Sherry into the sauce before I pour it over the fish or just omit altogether. Easy to make.

I loved this recipe!!!! I did top it with some buttered townhouse crackers (didn't make it any healthier, but it was absolutely delicious). The sauce was sooooo yummy. I had it with some rice and a salad and I soaked up every last bit of sauce with the rice. I only made 1/4 the recipe since my kids will only eat fish sticks (ew....), it worked fine. And I had this wonderful restaurant tasting meal while they ate their fish sticks.

We also stuffed the filets with canned crab meat (drained) Thaw the frozen fillets for about 7 minutes carefully pull apart in the middle and stuff with the crab meat. then pour the sauce over. It was delictable

Well this 1 looks sooo good I had to try it. I'm cooking it right now and I'm not one to leave anything alone. (I changed things a bit) To the sauce I added one clove of garlic,5 fresh basil leaves,2 sprigs of fresh parsley,and 1 green onion just the green part all chopped along with some onion powder and some parmesian cheese. Tasted thwe sause and ohhh ya so good. I also used my homemade blueberry wine(very dry and non sweet)instead of sherry. I'm giving this one 5* even before I try it because of the changes I made. Will be good.
