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
