Take your fillets with no wash or nothing... the wetness of fish will let the batter stick to them.

Walleye is better than crappie.

Ive never understood the dip it in mustard/sour cream/etc. To me it doesn't change the flavor of the fish at all

You must have dead tastebuds.

Oh and without any marinades mustard sour cream or buttermilk.

Ive never understood the dip it in mustard/sour cream/etc. To me it doesn't change the flavor of the fish at all and I get plenty of breading just seasoning them and then dredging in fish fry. Have made our own but find zatarans crispy southern to be about the best ive had.

I also like to make a thin beer batter and dredge in panko bread crumbs.

There are a bunch of different ways to cook fish I guess everyone has their favorite. Last few times we have cooked fish we had a crappie mixed in with several 14-24 inch channel and blue cats(seems like we can never catch more than 1 or 2 crappie in a sitting), the crappie are easily discernable from the catfish and I was surprised when everyone at the house preferred the catfish to the crappie.

That's the way I like it. I have tried the fru fru stuff and besides the ones soaked in Louisiana Hot Sauce, I cant tell that it does much to the fish flavor, maybe I don't have sophisticated taste buds lol..

Proper cleaning, rinsing and storage is the key to having a good clean piece of fish to cook.

I think catfish have more taste to them than crappie...……….

I, too, like to live on the wild side.

You take that back!

We had so much crappie back in the spring that I got tired of them. Still love them though.

I love catfish but crappie is definitely my favorite. I'm not sure I could ever have too much crappie but I would like to try.

Don’t listen to those guys they just trying to one down ya.

My daughter open a bag of tortilla chips, I said “Hey wait a sec, the bag over there is not empty”. She said its the end of the bag, and the chips are broken. So I mashed them up, ...

Oh man they were awesome! I was out of sour cream, so I used egg wash.

Do yourself a favor. Get a couple of bags of Funyuns, crack them open & squeeze air out. Smash them up real fine and batter your fish in Funyun crumbs & fry. 100 times better than panko crumbs.

Hot dang. No trees in view, finding them brush piles. You got 8 poles out like the pros do now?
