Stuffed Fish in Puff Pastry
"This recipe involves placing a seafood stuffing between fish fillets and encasing the package between sheets of puff pastry. This recipe is definitely a company dish although I occasionally make it just for the family. I like to present the whole fish to guests before cutting into serving pieces, you will have earned the compliments. You could also substitute your favorite deviled crab or crab cake recipe for the filling offered here."
