We were vacationing in the Outer Banks and went to a seafood provider. The red fish looked great, and since I was unable to catch any, I bought it. Next, they had some blue crab which I was also unable to catch, so I bought it. The wine, let’s face it, I bought. I added some seasonings, butter, and some breadcrumbs, and we had dinner. I hope you like it.
