Ive seen a lot of recipes on here. To me southern fried crappie is martha white yellow corn meal and spices. No egg wash. Post what it means to you. We make it a lot of other ways too at home: baked and grilled but a traditional southern fish fry is as I described it. This is just for fun while the fishing is slow in the heat. What do you use for your family fish fries. Specifically mine is yellow corn meal, tony's, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
