If you use the breadcrumbs or cracker crumbs, what do you season them with?

Thanks,

I think the Panko 'crumbs' are already seasoned, and come in different 'flavors'. The cracker crumbs depend on style of 'cracker' used.

Personally, I don't "season" my fried Crappie with anything ... except salt/pepper, and that's only when it's on the plate :p
I use plain yellow cornmeal, more or less as a 'crust'. I want to taste the fish, not cover their taste with another. Not real hip on using 'batter' type coatings, either .... though I have eaten fish with Autrey's, and with Weisenberger (both are batter mixes). I've also used Southern Star Fish Fry Seasoning ... when I wanted a little different "flavor".

Im with crappiepappy

you cant beat just corn meal and salt and pepper.

i do like the quaker corn meal in the round box it is finer ground

and not so grainy as some of the bag stuff.
