Number Of Ingredients 10

4 bacon strips
1/4 Cup chopped onion
2 celery ribs, finely chopped
1 Cup imitation crab meat
1/4 Cup butter, cubed
4 Cups crushed seasoned stuffing
1 1/2 Cups boiling water
3/4 Teaspoon salt and pepper

4 walleye fillets, about 8oz each

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp; remove to paper towels; drain. In the same skillet, saute the onion, celery, and crab in butter until vegetables are tender. Transfer to a large bowl; add the stuffing, water, salt, pepper, and cayenne; toss to moisten. Place fillets in a greased 15-in x 10-in x 1-in baking pan. Spoon stuffing mixture over fillets; top each with two pieces of bacon. Bake, uncovered, at 425 for 10-25 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
