Lynn's Stuffed Bass

 

1 bass, cleaned (about 3 to 4 pounds) 
salt and pepper, to taste 
melted butter 
Stuffing 
1/4 cup butter 
1/4 cup chopped onion 
1/2 cup chopped celery 
4 cups dry breadcrumbs 
1 egg, beaten 
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning, or use dried thyme leaves 
1 teaspoon salt 
1/8 teaspoon pepper 
Dry fish; sprinkle inside with salt and pepper. Place fish on well-greased baking pan. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat and sauté onion and celery until tender. In a mixing bowl, combine sautéed mixture with breadcrumbs, egg and other seasonings. Mix well and add a few tablespoons of water if the mixture seems very dry. Stuff fish loosely and brush with melted butter. Bake at 350° for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
