Who's Got a Good Crappie Recipe....???

[minnowman]

HELP ME! Please! I have taken advice from several people but I am looking for a new and inventive way to deep fry, pan fry, or bake crappie, even grilled would be ok. Please post a reply and let me know of any "NON-SECRET" recipes you might have, I am going to have a whole mess to cook up, some frozen and some freshly caught last night. Any help appreciated =)

Darryl and Jerry both have some good recipies on there sites. In fact cooked some of Jerrys fish balls (white bass wraped in bacon) this weekend along side some fried crappie and some actually prefered the white bass.

The only other thing I could tell you is get some of the butter flavored crisco bricks in the oil section of wally world and cook some fish the next time your on the lake. A man cant get to much of this weather, days on the water and a fried fish shore lunch. The bricks are perfect size to pan fry some crappie filets and add a great flavor.

Gooch, thanks for the reply...I have Daryl's bacon wrapped recipe printed laying on my counter at home for some of them, have got TONS of people ready to try it, freezer is filling up super fast. I cannot eat them fast enough, guess I'm going to have to start eating them for breakfast too, and I like white bass/striper breaded with a light tobasco, my old Cajun roommate taught me that, thanks for suggestions, I'll check out Daryl's website and get some from there...what's the other website you are referring to? Thanks

This may be on one of the websites, but i bake crappie occasionally by dipping them in lemon juice, and coating them with a mixture of crushed saltine crackers mixed with parmesean cheese, and then sprayed on top w/ pam, or brush on olive oil to make the crust crisp. bake them on a cookie sheet at 350 for 15-20 minutes (depending on the thickness of the fillets). Very good, and a lower fat than deep frying.

Thanks Randy, appreciate that, I'll add that one to the "ever-growing list" of ways to try it. Sounds good.
