Thread: Crappie Fishing

I usually just lightly dust my Crappie in Yellow Corn Meal ... especially if I cook them "skin on". It allows the "nutty sweet" taste of the fish (skin oils) to come thru more. When using filets (meat only) ... Southern Star Fish Fry Seasoning mix is my favorite. It adds just a bit of "spicy" taste, without being too "hot" or overpowering the taste of the meat.
I don't much care for the "breading" type mixes (the ones that you mix with liquids, and dip the fish in) ... or the ones with so much spice in them, that you can't taste anything else (Uncle Bucks comes to mind).

You might also want to look at the new forum "Cooking Crappie" ... and check out the recipes there. ........ cp
