I saw a recipe once like that Bob and tried it. That was probably the best crappie meal I've ever eaten. Thanks for that one. I found a recipe on the internet and tried it because the wife loves crab and shrimp, too. So do I. We tried it and it was outstanding. I'll use your recipe because I can't find the one I used that time. It sounded a lot like yours and I bet yours is even better. Thanks! Definitely try Bob's if you want the best one ever and mine for just straight up great baked crappie. Just lightly rub the butter, though, you don't want it slushing around in butter, so just lightly wipe the fillets with butter before you bake.
