I made the crab mixture to the recipe the first time, and put it over tilapia. I thought it needed something (salt maybe). So, the next weekend, I decided to try it again, as I still had half the peppers, and extra crab meat. I added some Old Bay seasoning as another reviewer recommended, and used the mixture to stuff mushrooms. It was delish! I ate the leftover crab mixture on triscuits, yum! Will definately make again. Was very colorful, and impressive. The 2nd time I made it, I did use a whole seeded and chopped jalapeno....just enough spice for us.

I didnt have grouper so I made it with catfish. It was great! I love all things with crabmeat toppings.

The crab stuffing is AWESOME! Think I'll use on other types of fish as well. Since I was pressed for time, I used an Italian blend of cheeses found in the deli section and seasoned bread crumbs I already had on hand. Will make again!

Wonderful! An easy, delicious way to dress up fish. I've made this recipe several times - sometimes w/ grouper, sometimes with another mild white fish. Works great every time! I particularly like to use thin fillets and use the broiling method. Only modification I make is to double the amount of jalepeno - suits our tastes better.

One of the nicest compliments one can receive after a meal is a clean plate of course, and an immediate request for the recipe. This dish got both. My guests loved it. My changes were simple, I used Tilapia instead of Grouper, sprinkled lightly w/Old Bay seasoning. I also added about 1/2 tsp of Old Bay to the crab mixture for extra flavor. When making this for 8 svg I used a full lb of back fin crab meat, but kept the other ingredient proportions the same. I also used 4 Tbl of plain bread crumbs w/equal amounts of parmesan cheese. (No parmesan flavored crumbs to be found). I included a Remoulade sauce as an accompaniment to the fish. Great for a dinner party, you're sure to please everyone!

First time I get my husband to ask for seconds! This meal was great! One of my favorite recipes by far! The only thing I changed was reg. bread crumbs for the parmesan because I didn't have it handy. Thanks. Will repeat over and over again.

I'm giving this 3 stars because I liked the crab topping better than the fish, which was bland (and it was fresh grouper, too!). A few substitutions: green pepper for yellow, serrano pepper for jalapeno, and Italian breadcrumbs instead of parmesan breadcrumbs. I also used fresh, jarred crab claw meat instead of canned. The crab topping was VERY good, but I think it would go better with a more flavorful fish, like salmon.
