Crab-Stuffed Flounder Day

Crab-Stuffed Flounder Day celebrates the seafood dish that pairs delicate, mild flounder with a savory crabmeat filling. The dish is usually made by placing a crabmeat, breadcrumb, and butter mixture inside a whole flounder, although the filling may also be rolled into fillets to make roulades. It is then baked and served hot, per Houstonia.

Crab-stuffed flounder recipes are especially associated with Gulf Coast cooking, while North Carolina seafood sources highlight the pairing of blue crab and summer flounder. A preparation from NC Catch uses crabmeat, bread cubes, butter, vegetables, eggs, and seasonings in the stuffing. Whether enjoyed at a restaurant or prepared at home, this February 18 observance offers a delicious excuse to put a seafood centerpiece on the table.
