Hi all!!! Just caught a good mess of Lake Eufaula crappie But realized I haven’t fried these things in several years. Can any of you give me a good batter recipe. Thanks in advance, pictures coming soon

I use buttermilk and egg for the drink and cornmeal with some spices, salt, pepper, or whatever you like, for the dredge. But I'm pretty simple with mine.
Look under the cooking section for some more ideas.
I personally like the Midwest crab cakes receipt found there.
We really like the McCormicks Beer Batter mix, just add beer!

My family is a big fan of Panko, but that's a breading and not a batter.
I like my battery lite. Put some "slap ya mamma" in some cornmeal and shake the fish around.

Walkers, the people who make slap ya momma, make a fish batter. It is outstanding. I'm with catchNgrease, like my fish lightly battered. Louisiana is also good batter
I like to mix it up and use different kinds but zatarans southern crispy or lemon pepper is good. Louisiana mixed with corn bread mix 50 50 is a good choice. If you ever around top of the river you can buy there mix if you call ahead. It's probably my favorite.

Drakes fish batter is my favorite. May have to buy it online Because I have not found it in my are since I moved south Add some panko a small amount of crushed red pepper and a little salt and wammo. The panko makes it nice and crispy
House Autry is my favorite but I usually make up my own.
I use zatterans lemon pepper and southern recipe. mix half and half. soak fish in buttermilk then roll em in mix good stuff bro
Soak fillets for an hour in milk, then shake them up in ChuckWagon Onion ring mix(Walmart),& fry
A guide on Lake Michigan had us do that with the coho salmon we caught.
It’s different

On a side note fry you vegetables in the zatterrans lemon pepper. (Oakra, green tomatoes)

For those who have not tried it, I highly recommend after your fillets are clean in a strainer squirt mustard on them and tumble them around with your hand coating the fillets with mustard. After that whatever batter you like corn meal/flour or Andy's batter in original or Cajun spice is really good from Kroger. The mustard acts as the egg or milk soak and you cannot taste the mustard at all and a slight smell of it only.
Love the sound of this one. I'm a mustard man for sure.Quote:

X2 for mustard & hot sauce... put as much as you like & let it marinade 10 minutes though... Great change to plain fried crappie!

3 eggs in a bowl, add 1 cup buttermilk, 1 tab spoon salt, 1 tab spoon black pepper, rinse fish fillets and squeeze the water out, drop them in the batter, then remove and roll and coat with, hungry jack potato flakes, then drop in hot oil and fry until golden brown, you will love it.Quote:
