Chesapeake Bay Stuffed Rockfish

People along the Chesapeake can be tight-lipped with their crab imperial recipes. I coaxed this Chesapeake Bay stuffed rockfish out of an old waterman. Substitute sole or flounder when Pacific rockfish is not in season.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 2 slices day-old white bread, cubed

  • ½ cup mayonnaise

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

  • ½ teaspoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay

  • ½ teaspoon dried mustard

  • teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 2 dashes hot pepper sauce, such as Tabasco

  • 1 pound fresh lump crabmeat

  • 4 (6 ounce) rockfish fillets

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x8 baking dish.

  2. Combine bread cubes, mayonnaise, parsley, butter, lemon juice, seafood seasoning, mustard, black pepper, and hot pepper sauce together in a mixing bowl. Gently stir in crabmeat until combined, being careful not to break crab chunks.

  3. Place fish fillets on a clean surface; spoon 1/4 crab mixture onto one side of each fillet. Starting on the side with the crab mixture, roll up each fillet around crab filling. Place rolled fillets into the prepared dish, open sides down.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until light brown and bubbly, and fish flakes with a fork, about 15 minutes.
