NATIONAL CRAB STUFFED FLOUNDER DAY – February 18
Sat Feb 18th

National Crab Stuffed Flounder Day

On February 18th, when National Crab Stuffed Flounder Day arrives each year, Crab and flounder take center stage. When crab and flounder combine, the day recognizes the unique, flavorful delight that occurs when crab and flounder pair.

This one-of-kind dish is made of a stuffing made with crab meat, bread crumbs, butter, and seasonings and is either stuffed into the whole flounder or rolled up into the fillets and baked.

Flounder is a flatfish that can be found in about 100 species. The winter flounder and Pacific flounder are two common species in the United States. Although thousands of species of crabs exist, only certain ones are edible. The blue crab, stone crab, Dungeness, king, and rock or snow crabs are among the most popular and tasty ones in the United States. They are available in both hard and soft shells and can be found along both the coasts and Hawaii.

There are a number of restaurants that serve crab-stuffed flounder on the East and Gulf Coasts, as well as a number of recipes to try at home.
