crab cake stuffed swaii (shark)
This is absolutely delicious. Other types of fish can be used in place of Swai, like Flounder, or Tilapia. Canned or fresh crab can be used. The mixture makes about 8 hand size crab cakes so, if the fish is really large, cut it in half and use one cake to a half slice. This dish is a show stopper.
