Ok, guys we all probably like our crappie fried but there's other ways of cooking them too. Here recently I've tried the foil bag with crappie fillets, butter, onion and lemon pepper which I did last night again. I also tried something new, crappie cooked on a cedar plank. I put a little bit of butter on the water soaked plank so fish wouldn't stick. I then put Old Bay season on the board. I put crappie down on the board and put more Old Bay over them, added some onion over the fillets and cooked on the grill for 20 or so min. It was really good for those of you who've not tried it that way. I'll definitely be trying that again.
As bad as Thursday and Friday were crappie fishing for me on De-over rated Gray lake I managed 4 that 1st day but they were big enough to offer enough meat for last nights meal. After catching several bass on crappie jigs me and another guy went back out yesterday but not crappie fishing. We chased the bass and did pretty well, nothing real big but definitely better than the crappie bite. I'll be getting more cedar planks though next time into town. So what's your favorite way to cook crappie? Usually I fried them with lemon pepper and garlic. Although I have tried the crappie cakes and they ain't too bad either....anyway to eat a crappie is a good way, ever body know dat!
