This recipe calls for ½ lb. of back fin crabmeat and ½ lb. of claw crabmeat for added flavor, and I find the claw meat also adds a bit of firmness to the texture of the stuffing as well. The Panko breadcrumbs are actually an addition to the original recipe, and the cocktail sauce is served as an alternative to the traditional beurre blanc sauce that would be served on the side also. Another ingredient that is found in the traditional “Imperial” preparation is mayonnaise, and it has also been eliminated from this version.

The Great Northern Beans are a great addition and add body along with the chicken. I would venture a guess that white kidney beans or cannelloni beans would be really good too. The sour cream andbechamel sauce incorporated at the end offer a hint of coolness that is reminiscent of the texture and flavor profile similarly found in aStroganoff.

But they also have frog legs, scallops and just about any fish. Grouper, salmon, catfish, haddock,Pollock, trout, red snapper, and flounder were also available on our visit.
