hey Cook I'm gonna try the potatoes trick!

Our first 4 or 5 fry's of the year we just use cornmeal with a little salt, once we've ate a lot of 'em we start using different batter's with different seasonings. We've gotten to like the beer batter, just add more water than it calls for and dip and drop, their good.

another tip is use peanut oil as long as no one is alergic, it will not bind with oils from the fish and cause your turkey to taste like fish or vice versa, cotton seed oil is the same.

If we catch a lot of small ones, we'll just scale em and gut em and fry em, same concept, except you get the delicious tales!! crappie chips!!
