I like to boil in sprite...dip in melted butter..we call it poor man's lobster..enjoy
This one, caught my attention! I love catching Crappies, but they are Crappy to eat (texture for me) ! IDEA ? Do a fish boil, w/ taters ,onions, & carrots, & throw some fillets in for a minute , or so. Serve w/ melted butter & dinner rolls. BURP ! You just gave me a reason to keep some Crappies , Thank You .
I had to say something about the taste of crappie. Several things make crappie taste bad. Mostly the lake they come from. If too much silt, the dirt gets in them and won't come out. Ponds mostly.The other is the blood in them. I squeeze out the blood while cleaning the fillets.Hope this helps!
I use a strainer and dip the fillets in almost boiling water with sea salt and old bay. When they're white throughout, they get a bath in ice water then drained on paper towel. Chill em in the fridge, a spritz of lemon, a shake of sea salt and pepper.....some good home made cocktail sauce..........mmmmmmm mmmmm!Rg
