In a medium skillet, cook mushrooms, celery and onion in margarine until tender. Stir in bread cubes, thyme, salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside. Season each fish cavity with salt and pepper. Spoon ½ cup bread mixture into cavity of each fish. Securely close cavities with skewers or toothpicks to keep stuffing inside. Place on lightly greased broiler pan. Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat source about 5 to 10 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily (don't overcook or fish will taste like cardboard).
