Was out of Brownie and came across this quick and easy recipe. Great basic recipe, but I am wondering why there is salt in it. It just made the brownies taste kind of salty. Will definitely make again, but will omit the salt - or just use a pinch.

Delicious. I was looking for a recipe for some trout fillets and this was just the ticket. Read the other reviews and decided to cut the flour from 4 cups down to 1 cup. I still had more than half of the flour mixture left over! I wonder if it's not supposed to be 1/4 cup rather than 4 cups. (???) I did not have the lemon zest on hand, so I omitted it and soaked the trout for a bit longer in the lemon juice. It tasted perfectly delicious, so don't be afraid to modify the flour mixture based on what you have on hand. I will definitely be making this again - it got big thumbs up from the family. Thanks for the great recipe.

This bisque was absolutely delicious. I did make some of the modifications suggested by others. My first suggestion is that if you are serving this soup to more than 2 people, double the recipe - it doesn't make much. I used only crab, since I had been looking for a recipe for crab bisque. I had 8 oz. of crab meat and made a double batch. It was more than enough crab. I added 1 clove crushed garlic to the melted butter and I used Sherry instead of wine (about 1/4 cup for the double batch). I also used some paprika as suggested by another reviewer. I used 2 tbsp and it was a bit much. Next time, I will cut it back to 1 tbsp, but I do like the paprika with this recipe. I ended up having to thin it out a bit with some chicken broth, since it became quite thick as it cooked. My husband and I both thought it was delicious! Thanks for a great recipe.
