4 each flounder fish fillets steaks
1 medium onions chopped
1 each celery stalks chopped
⅓ cup sweet red bell peppers chopped, red or green
1/4 pound butter unsalted, melted
1 pound crab meat
2 cups bread, white torn into small pieces
2 large eggs lightly beaten
1 tablespoon parsley leaves chopped
1/4 pound country ham centre slice, boned, 1/4 inch thick, finely diced
1 tablespoon sherry
1 x salt to taste
1 x black pepper freshly ground, to taste
1 x lemon juice

1
Preheat the oven to 350'F.
2
Lay the fish bottom side (the white side) up on a cutting board and make an incision in each fish down to the backbone along the center of the fish, stopping just shy of the head and tail.
3
Working at an oblique angle, slip the knife in between the flesh and backbone and run the knife down the ribs on both sides of the backbone.
4
Saute the onion, celery and bell pepper in a heavy saute pan in about half of the butter over medium-high heat until the onions begin to become transparent, about 5 minutes.
5
Toss with the crabmeat, bread, eggs, parsley, ham, and sherry, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.
6
Remember that the country ham is salty and will impart its flavor to the crabmeat.
7
Stuff the fish with the mixture, brush a glass baking pan with some of the remaining butter, and add the fish to the pan.
8
Mix the rest of the butter with the lemon juice, pour over the fish, and bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
