Perch or Crappie

[fishermantim4]

fresh their both great, but crappie are best when fresh. if they were frozen once they both taste the same. i dont know why crappie just dont have the same zahh after being frozen to me

Yeah i have to go with perch now that i have had crappie. I think perch are so much easier to clean. I do have to say i would not turn either one down. I clean them rinse them and drain them. then get a gallon bag fill it 1/4 of the way full. then add black pepper, buck seasoning,and some garlic salt. then I add the fillets to the bag and shake it then put in frying pan with about 1/2 inch of vegtable oil.

I'm willing to here some other recipies if you guys are willing to share them.

Depends on the day.  Some days I catch perch and I like them the best on those days.  Some days I catch Crappie and those days I like them the best.
If I catch a mixed bag of crappie and perch I like crappie and perch the best, that day.

Carp? hope that was sarcasm.......What ever ends up on the line- ends up in the bucket as long as its legal....from the bucket to the fillet table. Its tough to beat lightly breaded perch though.

[klino2280]

Pondskipper, try flouring the fillets, then dropping them in an egg wash with a bit of Tabasco or some Franks, then lightly breading them with fresh rosemary in with the bread crumbs.

THE NAME SAYS IT ALL!!!

I get a lot more perch than crappie, so I get a little more excited about crappies.  They do taste different, both great.  Probably mostly in my head, but I would have to say crappie.       

[perchman47]

ive caught both and i have eaten both. i like perch better because they are so much easier to clean. it takes me the same amount of time to clean 25 crappies as 50 perch. and way more scales too. but crappies are a treat every now and then, and they add some variety

[ICEMAN73]

Never had Gill.  I cant get them to bite.  I watch them all the time looking at my bait.  They look tasty

[stevekreis]

perch no crappie no perch oh wait walleye but they all taste the same in my beer batter. so hard to decide!!

[ice tripper]

My post was going to be like this one, nearly word for word. The perch #1 guys might reconsider if they tried fillets off a 13" crappie. They don't call them slabs for nothin'.

[beerbellybob106]

[CrappieAssasin42]

[adkwiley]

I gotta say thats a hard one to call for me,   I usually get more perch than crappies and both are welcome on my dinner table!  I usually jig upa few sunnies when going for perch and thery are fantastic.

[hoythunter]

id have to say perch, you get more for your time (the only reason crappieassasin says look at the name is because thats as far as he would walk panfish areas) walleyes are the best

[fishhead4268]

If you get in the rite area you can do Yellow perch, white perch, Gills, and some slabs all in one day..  Now that is a fish fry..  Throw in a eye or 2 and bam it is on
