Looks great! Never tried that before.
Yummm...
fixin to do the same thing!!!
Dog gone it I missed the cooking. That's ok we slammed them fish yesterday lol
Yes, the skin is what I like. Filleting with the skin on is great. If they are smaller crappie, it win just get his noggin cut off and fried whole!
Dog gone it Nimrod I just got though posting on jackie53 post about how cruel this is, you'al post these kind of pictures. I was kinda expecting a little better out of you, but I see you don't mind rubbing it in on a fellow that can't catch fish either. Man that sure looks good. Oh by the way I hope and PAY your wife is doing better. I pray peace and comfort on her in Jesus name.
Thanks for the prayers. I bet you catch plenty! But if you need a mess just let me know if your ever this way.:ThumbsUpQuote:

McCrappie Fried Potatoes recipe:
1. Cut red potatoes and add sliced onion
2. Heat a little bacon grease in a skillet till it's good and hot
3. Mix and Drop sliced potatoes and sliced onion in skillet. Cover and flip when seared to a golden brown.
4. Lower heat and Continue to cook covered until potatoes are cooked. Usually takes about 15 minutes / depends on how many you're cooking
A good friend of mine calls that cleaning them twice. Really good! Taste like whole fried. Making me hungry!
hmm I always filet skin off.. Sounds like I need to try skin on. I' ll have to give it a try.
Makes sense to me. Kind of like frying chicken with the skin on. The Colonel makes the best chicken skin.

I love eating mine with the skin on.
well looks like u forgot my ph# again lol I leave the skin on some time to blacken them
You always seem to forget mine till hunting season is over .:scratchheadQuote:

I use the soft flour tortias and everything you put on regular Taco .
Sounds easy. I thought there was more to it. Can you get the skillet too hot? I have never pushed the limits of my cast iron.Quote:

Guess you could but it needs to be real hot. You won't hurt the skillet getting it hot.Quote:
