Have you tried that Mrs. Dash shake on seasoning? It's all low sodium and they make a wide variety of flavors/blends. Maybe try some of that on grilled or broiled crappie? Just a thought. Good luck and stay healthy!
Try baking crappie with some no sodium seasoning. Baste with no sodium butter once every 5-7 minutes. for about 15 minutes @ 350 degrees.
I do the same thing on the grill as kincade mentioned in his post above. I put the
fish in a flat hamburger basket so they stay together when you turn them. Use any non-salt herb seasoning that you like. Yum!
of any "shake and bake" types of coatings !! There's a lot of sugar and salt in some of those mixes. Always read the ingredients label !! (and stay away from canned foods and packaged meals ... they're salted for preservation)Quote:

........ luck2ya ... cp :cool:
thanks for these recipes i will give them a try.thanks again!good luck fishing this spring
McCormick makes sodium free seasoning for all types of meat (beef, chicken, fish) They are actually very good.
For baked fish try cooking your crappie in tinfoil out on the grill.
For coated fish bake it in the oven in a low corning ware type dish which has been basted with olive oil, canola oil, etc. To coat the fish use bisquick which has been seasoned to your liking with pepper, paprika, no sodium fish seasoning, etc. To get a crisp coating put fish in bisquik first, then into egg beaters or egg whites and then back into the bisquick.

Since going low salt I have been coating the filets with olive oil and garlic powder and cooking them on a teflon griddle in the oven at 425 degrees. I cook them for ten minutes and flip the filets for another ten minutes on the other side. They will get crispy on both sides of the filet.
I am also on a low sodium diet. Kroger has a good corn meal that has "zero" mg of sodium and it is very good. It comes in a tub. I also make my own ketchup to dip my crappie in. It tastes so good and fresh and I hardly miss the salt at all and is better for you.
Ketchup
1 - 6 oz can no salt added tomato paste
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup white distilled vinegar
1/4 cup water
1 Tablespoon sugar or sugar subst.
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
dash cayenne powder or to taste
Combine all ingredients with a wisk in a saucepan on medium heat. When starts to boil bring down heat to simmer and cook about 15-20 minutes then bring off the stove. Let sit until cool. Store in clean jar in fridge. AWESOME - I never buy store ketchup anymore!
thanks for the recipes a will try them.this low soduim is not as bad as i frist thought got a lot of good reciepes on the web.try www.lowsoduimcooking.com thanks everyone!:) :)
Try to pan fry them in olive oil like they do Rainbow Trout. Mix milk and creole mustard together to taste, Mix a little flour, corn meal, pepper together. Fillets work best. Add a little unsalted butter and olive oil in skillet. Dip fillets in milk mix then in flour,corn meal mix the put into skillet. Get skillet hot but do not burn butter and olive oil. You just need a little butter to give the olive oil a buttery flavor.
Hope you like this

Mrs. Dash also has a good website.
As far as baking crappie I haven't found a recipe that I like as well as deep fried but I have borderline high BP.
Try this:Coat it with a mixture of dark ale and spicy brown mustard.
Then bread it with crushed cornflakes with a pinch of seasalt. (Lower sodium than regular salt)
As for a tartar sauce substitute I like 1/3 horseradish and 1/3 miracle whip 1/3 mustard.
Quick and easy. Set the oven to broil. Line a shallow pan with foil. Sprinkle lemon and pepper seasoning on each side of your fillets and place in the pan with a small pat of low sodium butter on top of each. Broil for 3 minutes and then turn over for another 3 minutes (for crappie, longer for thicker fillets like walleye or snapper). Due to Meniere's disease, I've been low sodium for 4 years now.
This place is the greatest!! My brother is on dialysis so no sodium for him, and I am chief cook & bottle washer, so we eat pretty much the same thing.
A really simply and very delicous way to cook bream chips (or fillets if you have them) well pretty much any fish....
Place fish on a baking sheet, dot with a little dab of butter or olive oil, a little lemon juice and sprinkle with rosemary, or taragon. I have used oregano, but does not bring out the flavor of the fish as well. Bake for about 10 min at 450, check after 5 and flip if needed. If you flip give them another splash of juice on the new up side. Depending on size of your fish, shorter or longer, cook till it just flakes.
Mrs dash is really great, but I am experimenting with 'straight' herbs.
There is hidden sodium in all sorts of inocent looking food. What is the sodium in your cornflakes?? I can't find any that are in our 'range' have I been looking too hard?
buffy check out www.healthyheartmarket.com they have cereal zero sodium and lots of other prouducts.have you every fished the james river for those big blues cats.i would love to get up there and fish that river some.
Thanks a lot for tht link I thought I had them all, I love using cornflakes for 'breading'. Can't wait to go 'shopping'!!
Yes I have, but just around Richmond and above, my biggest and best cat was 9lb on a flyrod. We were doing a float trip camped on an island, flipping pan size bream in hand over fist, and WHAM. In about a 2 ft channel, my brother went in after it with a net or it would have gotten away. We named it fin and ate it.
