How often do you folks eat 'em?

Just scanning through all these pictures and one question keeps burning through my mind.
Some of you seem to catch mess after mess of crappie, like two or three limit trips a week.
How often does everyone on here eat fish?
It'd take me five days a week just to keep up with the amount of fish some of you old hands can catch.

Please don't think I'm criticizing, 'cause I wish I could catch them as well as some of you. Just curious how often everyone eats crappie. And what are some ways you've cooked it to keep it from getting old?

Me and my family ear it once a week. It don't get old to me and it is my 4 year olds favorite thing to eat . He stays beside me while I'm cooking them constantly asking if some has cooled off yet. Can't beat it!

Most of the times its 2 times a week. I fry them with friends and my wife and I eat them grilled.

When I'm catching them my wife and friends eat fish at least once a week. Then usually 2 or three times a year I will have a big fish fry. The last one I had we fed 47 people with 27 pounds of crappie.

Oh yeah I also on occasion give some to some older folks who cant get out there and catch them any more.

Used to once a week now been 2 months since!

at minimum 1 time a week. If I am catching a bunch, I might cook fish 3 times a week. Fried ain't the only way to eat them either. grilled, baked, scampi, curried, the list goes on and on and on...

The Googles is a wonderful place to find recipes, just subsitute crappie for other fish types.

Twice a week, blackened fish tacos, fried, and baked in scampi sauce.

2-3 times a month. The wife doesn't eat fish so I usually fix it when she's not home.

Gindog, I buy McCormick scampi sauce out of the seafood section at krogers.

I am blessed to be able to live and fish with some great fishermen,jig tyers,luremakers.We are blessed to have some outstanding fishing in our area,White river, black river,spring river, eleven point,strawberry ,norfork,greers ferry the great Bull shoals lakes and several smaller GF lakes in our area to fish,They(retired friends and father) keep a log of how many days and how many fish they catch in our area we cook and eat fish every Tuesday(rain,snow or sun shine) maybe crappie, Bream,catfish,walleye,kentucky bass,buffalo,(flathead the best) in my OP .We will usually have 8 or 10 flok's ea tuesday and usually a guest or two. Truly blessed!!!!! and on special days, Deer,duck,squirrel...

Usually twice a week. Either blackened or fried. Twice a year I go to the veterans home and throw a fish fry. I'm a geezer so I only fish good weather.

How bout us younger folks who haven't figured out how to catch them yet? :highfive

The first summer I figured out how to catch them, about 4 times a week (fried) from april till september. That has tapered off some over the years. It has been a week since I have had my last and I'm ready for some right now.

What we catch on the weekend is cleaned and placed in stainless steel container with ice water in the bottom of the refrigerator......that's what we use during the week. Any extra gets frozen and given to relatives, friends, ect. That way we never have to eat frozen Crappie. We usually eat fish 1-3 times per week and like it fried, grilled and blackened. Haven't tried the scampi but sounds good and want to try that soon.

Minimum of 1X per week. If my wife wouldn't think I was absolutely crazy I think I could stand to eat them literally every other day!

I like to eat them once a week and I also save up a bunch to cook and feed the folks at Church once a year.

We eat fish about twice a week from Feb through Sept. we mostly bake and grill them with onions on top. I do like to blacken them in olive oil with Paul Predones (sp) on them.

Wish I lived closer, we have lots of fish fries spring and summer with friends camping on the lake. The rest of the time it is not worth cooking just for my self as Kena not much on fish. I give away fish about all year long.

We will eat fish 3-4 days a week.. A lot of times more. Hell.. Sometimes for breakfast!

When the freezer gets full ill cook for the friends and neighbors, and who ever else is around...

I never get tired of eating them average 2 times a week fried baked broiled does not matter will cook at the the drop of a hat keep everything ready to go and will cook anytime some one decides they would like to eat a few keep large bowl in ice box full of fresh fillets and freezer has gallon bags frozen this is all kept at fish camp and if there are at least two of us there a fish fry is subject to happen.
Noslab.

Once a week when I am catching. Have promised some friends a fish fry this spring so I had better find some soon.

2 or 3 times a week depending on how many we're catching!!! So many different ways to fix crappie, it NEVER gets old. Cooked on smoker in an aluminum foil pan with BBQ sauce is close to the top!!! Don't knock it till u try it!!!

does eating crappie get old???...I don't think so...

1-2 times a week

Once a week. Love em in fish taco's.

I have got to where I love Crappie Sandwiches!

Fresh, soft bread.
A little tarter sauce.
Slice of cheese.
Oh yea.. And 2 big ole fillets!
My GOD they are good!
