National Crab-Stuffed Flounder Day Date in the current year: February 18, 2026

Crabs can be messy to eat, which is why their meat is better suited for stuffing flounder. The delicious taste of the crab is preserved in the dish, which you can enjoy with lemon wedges. If you don’t have flounder, you can stuff any fish fillet with crab meat.

There are different types of crab meat that you can use to stuff fish. The largest, snow-white lumps are called jumbo lump crab meat. Backfin crab meat is the same color, texture, and flavor as jumbo lump, but it is in smaller pieces. White crab meat is the best choice for recipes where the crab flakes become indistinguishable, such as crab cakes. Claw crab meat is the most flavorful, making it ideal for spicy dishes. For crab-stuffed flounder, the best choice is claw or white meat.

Don’t waste time; start stuffing flounder or other fish fillets with crab meat. If you’re too lazy, go to the closest restaurant and order it to celebrate National Crab Stuffed Flounder Day!
