Well, I thought I'd give a report. The fish-fry went great! I fried probably close to 200 crappie filets (50-75 had skin on) and not one complaint. I noticed my wife was eating one with the skin on and......she never noticed. It was a great time and I was continuously complimented on the fish!! I did most in corn meal and the rest in McCormick's Fish & Chips batter. Lots of compliments on the fish & chips fish!! Of course most of these people had never been to a fry with anything but catfish on the menu, so they weren't expecting the consistently mild flavor of crappie!!

Thanks again!
