This was awesome. I didn't measure the wine or the cream, I just eyeballed them. I left out the lemon thyme and parsley - still terrific. Also - I didn't use whole red snapper - I used snapper filets, and I split them down the middle and put the stuffing in the separation of the filets. Still very attractive. Thank you, Kevin!

I used a whole 4# red snapper and this was VERY good. The only problem that I had was the stuffing. I don't think it was cooked well enough. I will make this again but I will cook the stuffing on the side.
