National Crab-Stuffed Flounder Day

National Crab-Stuffed Flounder Day is on February 18th in the US.

Now this is one of the extremely specific celebrations. Not just crab. Not just flounder. But crab-stuffed flounder.

Flounders are a group of flatfish which lay on the bottom of the sea waiting for their prey. Flatfish, as the name suggests, are flat, and camouflage themselves on the bottom. Interestingly, their eyes migrate as they become an adult because of this.

Crabmeat is harvested from the inside of the exoskeletal crabs. This meat can then be taken and stuffed into other foods, in this case flounder.

This isn't going to be the easiest dish to make, as you're going to need a source of fresh crab - not too difficult - and flounder. The latter can be harder to obtain.
