Looking for a little change instead of just using yellow cornmeal in 400 degree peanut oil.
Anyone have a favorite batter recipe you would be willing to share.
Thanks in advance!

While not a batter, one of my favorite ways to cook crappie is blackened. Old bay blackening spice. Coat both sides of crappie, put a teaspoon of oil in a skillet, get it hot, throw fish in the skillet 2 minutes or so on each side! Mmmgood with some coleslaw, and fast.
My dad uses a seasoning called Andy's, not sure of the spelling. It beats my wife's straight cornmeal mix hands down. Wish I knew where to get some around here.
I will try this. Sounds very good! Thanks for sharing.Quote:

Shawnee mills pancake mix use beer instead of water.
Wash your fillets, dredge in: flour, beaten egg, then Panko seasoned with Lowry's Garlic Salt. Fry golden brown and top with a little fresh lemon juice. Can't get much better.
The Andy's mix is a cornmeal mixed with seasoning. I think he said it comes in a 5lb bag.
If you want to try something other than fried, I have a awesome recipe. First a bit of history. :rolleyes: One evening this spring on my way back from a fine days fishing on Eufaula I decided to stop at the quick stop in Canadian to purchase a snack for the road. Upon opening and tasting a bag of Jalapeno Cheetos I decided there must be some other use for these fiery hot coals other than eating them straight out of the bag. As the wheels turned upon on the road the gears in the mind likewise churned about what to do with this bag of Cheetos, what ensued was a life changing event for all who have tasted this recipe (sorry for the exaggerations, I am a fisherman after all). Crush bag thoroughly (helps to empty contents into a gallon zip lock first). Coat fillets with sour creme. Roll fillets in the crushed jalapeno Cheetos. Bake on foil for 20 minutes at 500. Do not turn. Not at all like other baked recipes, it comes out crunchy like fried but without all the oil. You may thank me later:santa

I'll have to give that a try, sounds good.
For non fried, we will melt 2 Tbs butter in a skillet and sauté a large onion or two until about 1/2 done. Place fish on top of onions and sprinkle with cayenne or creole seasoning, cover and steam until the fish is done. We will do this with fresh caught sandies or small hybrids and you don't need to take out the red line.
CHECrappie....why would you want to mess with perfection....you can try all those other spices and mixes, but you will certainly come back to the old original...Yellow Cornmeal, Salt, and Pepper....YEAH BOY....Ranger
The Spicey Fish Batter for BPS is pretty good stuff. You mix up some milk and Louisiana Hot Sauce. Then dip fillets in the milk/hot sauce mix and then coat with the Spicey Fish Batter. It'll set you free! :)
Ranger I know....I know....yellow cornmeal is just hard to beat but I just wanted to try somoething a little different. Looks there are some good one on here!!Quote:
