Try half sour cream and half spin blend (tried miracle whip which I thought was the same, but the spinblend is better for some reason) Also, I found it better if you refridgerate it for a couple of days. I do the same with crab meat also. It is really good. I think with crappie you can be more creative. When poaching crappie, use different seasonings. Another thing I do which really helps is add the juice of 1 lemon. I don't know why, cause I'm not a cook, but that's what I was told, and they were correct.
