I seriously don’t cook with enough seafood, and I know I should, which is why when I do cook with fish, I try and make it special. Like with these gorgeous striped sea bass fillets that I stuffed with a lump blue crab meat mixture. The end result is simply to die for. I mean let’s be honest, this dish is very impressive, like the difference between a cook and a chef. I’m not saying I’m a chef or anything, but if you wanted to impress your significant other, this is how you should do it.
These beautiful sea bass fillets come to us from Blue Pointe Seafood which is located on the Eastern side of the Chesapeake Bay in Kent Harrows Maryland, famous for its world renowned seafood. They’ve been in business for 20 years and will always deliver fresh, high-quality seafood at an affordable price.
I have to admit that my favorite part about this dish was the crab filling, although if you’ve never had sea bass before, you must try it. Sea bass has quite a meaty buttery texture and believe it or not, quite similar to the texture of chicken. Whether you grill, bake or pan-sear your sea bass, you’ll always end up with a moist and flaky fish. We’re talking melt-in-your mouth flavor with large and moist flakes.
But that crab filling is incredible. I actually made a lot more, and then used to rest to make crab cakes, so good. I decided to pair this sea bass with some Beluga lentils which made an incredible side dish, not to mention they’re really easy to make.

Great Recipe, that’s not “striped sea bass” though. It’s just “striped bass” and it is not referred to as just “sea bass.” Just pointing out as this may confuse the reader looking for a fish that does not exist under that name. Striped bass is actually in the perch family and can be found in fresh, brackish and saltwater.
OMG that bass looks to die for!
I don’t cook with enough seafood, either. This dish looks fantastic!
Thank you so much for the online seafood referral. I am in landlocked AZ and I MISS good seafood. I will order from this group. YEAH!
I hope you do, their seafood is amazing!
Thanks for the post .Can you say what other fish and stuffing we could use instead of Blue sea Bass and crab. I do not eat shell fish.
