I like crispy crappie, but some of my friends prefer them floppy. I marinate the filets in buttermilk for an hour or so, toss them in bag of 2 parts cornmeal and one part flour, salt and pepper to taste, and place them in deep fryer full of peanut oil at about 350 to 375 degrees. They come out golden, crispy and tasty.
I want to accommodate my friends who like them floppy but I just can't seem to do it. Any hints?
