CRAB-TOPPED FISH FILLETS

Crab-Topped Fish Fillets image

These fillets are elegant enough for company but truly no trouble to make. Fish is abundant here in South Florida, and we like to get together with friends in the afternoon, so I often need to whip up a quick dinner when we get home. This special dish is one of my husband's favorites. -Mary Tuthill, Fort Myers Beach, Florida

CRABMEAT CRUSTED CHILEAN SEA BASS

Crabmeat Crusted Chilean Sea Bass image

My boyfriend and I just finished having this for dinner -- wonderful!! I had to tweak the original recipe, and what follows is the end result. I'm sure the crust could actually be used on all kinds of fish -- Chilean sea bass is pretty expensive (ours was almost $30/lb), but you could likely substitute any kind of white fish with good results.
