Baked Stuffed Bass.

Ingredients.

1 bass, cleaned (about 3 to 4 pounds)
salt and pepper, to taste
melted butter
Stuffing:
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
4 cups dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning, or dried thyme leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions.

Dry fish; sprinkle inside with salt and pepper. Place fish on well-greased baking pan. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat and saute onion and celery until tender. In a mixing bowl, combine sauteed mixture with bread crumbs, parsley, beaten egg, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well and add a few tablespoons of water if the mixture seems very dry. Stuff fish loosely and brush with melted butter. Bake at 350° for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Sounds Good!!!
