fresh crappie are a little mushy. they will firm up after been froze.
thaw them out and pat dry.
heat grease to 400 deg. F

to tell the temp of grease once it heats up throw a kitchen match in it let it float till the match lites and goes out the temp will be right.

but i use a candy thermometer sold at most grocery stores. to keep the heat at the 400 deg f

cut your filets in to 1 1/2 in strips dont add to many to the pan about 8 pieces at a time so they cook thru fast and not soak up grease.

once the fish floats to the top they are done .

leave a little longer for more crisp.
