Made these yesterday. Dipped in eggwash then in breadcrumbs with pepper and Tony’s. I think this is my favorite way to fry them.

Did another batch tonight, that I eggwash and breadcrumbed with the others last night. So these sat 24 hours before cooking and were just as good. That is good to know, now I can prep a day before for a fish fry. Did this once before with flower, after 24 hours they were hard after frying..

I actually got tired of crappie back in the spring. We caught them every day and ate them 3 or 4 times a week…….

We cooked up some we caught Wednesday for our 4th of July meal. Of course I remembered the pics after the food had already been hit.

I've never understood the romance with cornmeal for a fish batter. I learned this from Florida fisherman years ago when I lived there...take 50/50 mixture flower and Italian bread crumbs...however much you want to make. Add salt and pepper if you want. Then LOTS of red/cayenne pepper and add to it. You want the red pepper to the extint that the batter has a red hue to it. Take your fillets with no wash or nothing... the wetness of fish will let the batter stick to them. Shake in large zip lock or plastic bowl with lid. Fry away. I'll add Slap Ya Momma after they come out the grease if I want a cajun flare to them. They are light and tasty.

Everybody has nine thousand recipes. I personally like the Louisiana corn meal. Both those above look great.

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.
