Thanks Pappy, I will try that. It seems the only time I eat fresh crappie is when we are on a fishing trip and did notice when we fished florida this winter the smaller fish were much better than the fish in the 2lb range. 75% of the time we just bread them and fry, but my wife is starting to try other recipes and also likes baking the fillets. Soon I will have to replace my deep freeze for the past couple months we stuff at least 2 baggies of fillets in the freezer, I actually went bass fishing sunday just so i would have the evening to relax (not a good excuse) I know.
