1 ½ pounds flounder fillets
1 cup crab meat - drained, flaked and cartilage removed
3 crushed saltine crackers
1 tablespoon finely chopped green bell pepper
¼ teaspoon ground dry mustard
¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon salt
Ground white pepper to taste
1 egg white
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
¼ cup butter, melted

DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Rinse flounder fillets and pat dry with paper towels. Lightly grease a shallow baking dish.
Combine crab meat, crushed saltines, bell pepper, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and white pepper together in a medium bowl. Combine egg white and 1 tablespoon mayonnaise in a small bowl; stir into crab meat mixture.
Brush fillets with melted butter; place in the prepared baking dish. Spoon crab meat mixture over fillets and drizzle with any remaining butter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, make topping: lightly beat egg yolk in a small bowl. Stir in 5 tablespoons of mayonnaise. Remove fish from the oven and spread this mixture over stuffing; sprinkle with parsley and paprika.
Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F and bake until golden and bubbly, about 5 or 6 minutes.
