Ive seen a lot of recipes on here. To me southern fried crappie is martha white yellow corn meal and spices. No egg wash. Post what it means to you. We make it a lot of other ways too at home: baked and grilled but a traditional southern fish fry is as I described it. This is just for fun while the fishing is slow in the heat. What do you use for your family fish fries. Specifically mine is yellow corn meal, tony's, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
Tony Chacheres makes a fish fry that we love. But as long as I can remember ours was just Sunflower brand white cornmeal, salt and pepper.

I have fixed crappie many ways, but if it ain’t covered in corn meal and dropped in hot oil it’s kinda like cheating on your wife.... it just ain’t right.
Sunflower cornmeal, salt, pepper and TexJoy. No eggwash. Best I've ever had!
I don't do an egg wash either. Cornmeal and cornmeal mix are two entirely different critters. I prefer cornmeal mix, but they're both good. I put Tonys in mine and salt. Fried in peanut oil.
I bake or grill way more than I fry nowadays.

that's the way i do it too , gallon zip-lock bag , dump in a cup of plain yellow cornmeal , some pepper , tony's , paprika , and i have gone back to using just plain ole lard ( thats the way granma fried em ).. then have crystal hot sauce and lemons by the platter......... , fry up some sliced up red taters for fries ,while the fish are cooking ............but all of this is even better if it is done outside over some hardwood coals , gives em a smoky flavor !!!Quote:

I use your recipe! of course with Tony's, salt, pepper& garlic.
Love the crystal hot sauce and lemons. For catfish I always chunk up the fillets and then coat in hot sauce before going in the bag of cornmeal.Quote:
