5 lb. striped bass
8 tbsps. butter
1 onion, chopped fine
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
5 slices stale bread
salt and pepper to taste
parsley, chopped
oil
Make the stuffing first by melting the butter in a large skillet. Saute the chopped onion, celery and mushrooms. Break about 5 slices of stale bread into small pieces. Place these in the skillet, add salt, pepper and chopped parsley. Turn off the heat and mix thoroughly. Stuff the body cavity of the fish with the dressing. Wipe the fish on the outside with vegetable oil and place it on a rack in a roasting pan also coated with oil. Bake for about 45 minutes in a 325-degree oven.
