Asian Flare Added to Ketchn's Crusted Crappie
I've wanted to try this and the last Slabs I caught were perfect to save for this. I pulled the fish out resting on the Island to warm up before sprinkling the tops with Bang Bang seasoning.

Once the seasonings has drawn out enough water to stick to the fillets I toss the fillets in AP Flour to coat using a Ziploc bag.

So laying the coated fillets on parchment paper I wait till the flour draws out more water from the fillet making a stick surface.

Once there I dip the fillets in a straight egg wash then lay the fillets into the crushed corn flakes.

I missed taking a picture of the finished crusted fillets before going into the oven.

These are Rice Flour noodles, super easy to prepare. Just boil water, turn it off, add the noodles, cover for 20 minutes and they're done.

Once finished drain in a colander.
I came up with a new sauce yesterday, I think this sauce would work better on BBQ Chinese Pork & Chicken after eating with the fish yesterday but it was very, very good on the Crusted Crappie too.

To plate start with a healthy amount of the rice noodles, top with the baked Crusted Crappie fillets, and drizzle the Asian sauce over the top.
