Contraband Crab Meat

Ever need some crab meat for stuffing a Flounder? Just don't feel like making a trip to the seafood market and would like an alternative? Estergail from Sargent, TX emailed me an excellent recipe for a crab meat alternative.

Ingredients:

• 1 Fish, coarse meat fish such as Drum or Redfish
• Salt and Pepper
• Crab Boil
• Lemon Juice
• 1 Onion quartered

Clean and head your fish, Bring a pot of water to boil ( enough to cover fish), Place fish into pot and season with remaining ingredients to liking.

Cook fish until done and set aside to cool. Peel off the skin, and flake fish from bone with a fork. Be careful to not mix bones with meat.

The fish tastes excellent and may be used as a stuffing substitute for baking.

Try adding a helping handful of chopped, boiled shrimp into the Contraband Crab as well - all I can say is Uhm, Uhm, Good!
