This was FABULOUS! We did, however, have to substitute tilapia for the catfish but that was a minor difference. We did also scale this recipe up to six servings. We had a lot of the crab filling leftover but I think that will vary by the size (width) of the fillets you use. The flavor was perfect as was the texture.
