    with breadcrumbs, then add onion, bell pepper, and last
    mayonnaise. Gently fold in crab meat being careful not
    to break up lumps of crab meat. Refrigerate. You can to
    make my dressing the day before or the morning of the

    flounder for 30 min. (or until flakey) spoon sauce over
    fish ever 10 min.When done place each fish on plate and
    pour sauce from baking dish over fish and serve

    If using filets, place one filet on baking pan cover
    with dressing, top with filet, spoon sauce over filets.
    cook as above.

    TIPS: If you use canned crab be sure to drain off the
    water in can and rainse the crab at least 3 times to get
    rid of the can smell and taste.
