Different fried crappie

Okay I started frying my crappie using the following very basic recipe:

Put fresh or thawed fillets in an appropriate zip lock bag and cover with Tobasco. Let sit for about 1 hour. Mix your cornmeal with salt and pepper to your liking. remove fillets from bag and go straight to cornmeal mix and fry as normal. I like canola or peanut oil but to each their own.

The fish when fried will come out crispy and it seems like it doesn't take as long I'm guessing because of the vinegar in the hot sauce. When fried the fish has a peppery taste but is not hot. I have a 8 year old grandson that thinks Ketchup is hot but will absolutely devour the fish.Attachment 150836Attachment 150835Attachment 150834 Notice the cast iron skillet:biggrin

Looks Good out of the cast iron!

I guess my invitation to dinner got lost in the mail. Man that sure sounds good, will be trying it tomorrow. Thanks for the new receipe.

That looks like my skillet:Rofl bet that is good. Going to try it cause I put Tabasco on mine anyway. Thanks for posting.

LOL we live on opposite sides of Tulsa, but you're always welcome out to the house Hotrod2. In fact we need to get together and fish some.

they have to be cousins Cray. It's all I cook with!

Sounds like a good way to cook them to me. YUM YUM

Crappiepappa, sounds good to me, cant wait for the fishin to heat up. What lake do you fish most of the time?

Mostly Eufaula now. Fished them all some when I had a fishing boat. I've been hitting the fish house at Carl Blackwell some. Will fish them all again come fall when I get my new boat:biggrin

How long does it take you to get to Carl Blackwell from Eufaula and which way do you go?

the fastest way for me is to drive 75 to Tulsa, then over on 412. Takes exactly an hour and 40 minutes from my drive to the parking lot. I'm going Saturday afternoon if you want to go. My trucks in the shop so I conned a buddy of mine to go fishing with me.:cheers2

Im gonna try to hit Oolagah this weekend, hopefully its not still froze over. Let me know how you guys end up doin and I will post my reports also. Good luck and be safe. If Oolagah is not fishable I will probably try Claremore lake.
