Restaurant Style Stuffed Flounder Recipe – Delicious Date Night Dinner

One of my favorite restaurant-style dishes will always be stuffed flounder. And It's easier to make than you think. Why not turn dinner into a special occasion with this delicious recipe?

If you want a delicious and easy to make restaurant style dish for your next date night, look no further than my Stuffed Flounder Recipe!

Wegman’s is laid out a little differently which makes my shopping more of a crisscross pattern. Produce first, but all the meats and seafood along with the bakery are on the right, everything else in the store to the left…..of course that means as a creature of habit, I pick up almost all of my produce first, then move on to groceries, dairy, and finally onto meats and seafood, with one last stop at produce to pick up any fresh herbs or veggies to go with the proteins I just picked out.

Wegman’s is a huge store, and it’s a good hour and a half before I’m out of there, you know some marketing guy is doing a happy dance when he hears that news….you see the more time you spend in the store, the more you buy!

I’m really lucky to have such a great selection of fresh seafood this close to home, and it is hard to decide some days. I like to vary my selection, but my wife does love flounder, and this time of year it’s coming from Iceland (our local flounder is still a few months away). As I walked away with my flounder for the night, I saw the jumbo lump…..sigh, it was back! What’s a chef to do!

Of course I picked up a pound of that beautiful fresh Maryland crab meat, although a bit pricey it would make 2 good dinners which makes it an economical choice vs dining out (that’s the logic I try to use whenever I spend that much for seafood), and of course it was a special occasion. My wife passed her Praxis exams as a Reading specialist! I had told her I would take her out to celebrate but when I saw that beautiful crab meat I decided to make something special instead!

To say she was overjoyed with the meal would have been an understatement, the Stuffed Flounder was the perfect meal to celebrate her success and would be one we would be revisiting! The nice thing about this dish is that it can be prepped ahead of time, so the only work you really have to do is pop it in the oven when your guests arrive. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
