Thread: Basic crappie and healthy

Went I'm trying to watch the waist size I cook my crappie as follows. Very basic but taste good.

Spray large non stick skillet with Pam and heat

Spread crappie fillets out in pan

Sprinkle lightly with:

Chili powder
Garlic powder
Fine sea salt
And ground pepper

I cook until they are a little over cooked. Taste great.

I wonder how crappie fillets sprinkled with ranch would be?

I think it would be good. I've had meat off the grill done that way and its good so I would think the crappie would be great.

Sounds Good - Can't go wrong with Chili and Garlic

I do much the same thing, but just a light sprinkle of Tony Chachere's, onion powder and garlic powder. Just to where you can barely see its on. Probably very similar to usafret99's mix. I do use a tsp of olive oil and get the skillet fairly hot, like medium high. just a few minutes per side, and it takes on a fried texture. A buddy tried it and used coconut oil instead of olive oil. Said he really liked it. His girlfriend has asked for more crappie.

Sounds like I do blacking in iron skillet with high heat. Remember to drain and then dry fillets on paper towels to prevent sticking to skillet.

Coconut oil would be good, leaves no flavor of oil.

Will have to this a shot is allot like I prepare my fish for fish tacos.

will have to catch the fish first to try it.......
