GILLS GILLS GGGGIIIILLLSS whats your favorite recipe
« on: Dec 25, 2008, 08:09 PM »
I just love munchin on them little worm eaters.  What is your favorite way to eat them?  I have found fillet methodology to be a bit boney for my taste.  Any advice?
I've been slappin crappies since 1995.

Well start off with Bulls,fish at least 8 inches,give you a nice fillet,I use a Electric knife,fillet,skin,and cut out the ribs in that order,wash fillets,dip in beaten egg,dip in 4 C's Italian bread crumbs,deep fry till they float,it doesn't get any better than that,pretty basic.

I too use an electric knife and cut out the rib cage.  The only way i cook fish now:  butter, soy sauce, and lemon juice - preheat in pan until all one liquid.  season fillets with pepper and garlic salt.  cook fish until bright white color.  It is basically like steaming the fish.  I generally do not flip the fillets as they tend to crumble. 

Tastes great; i havent used a batter since i tried this for the first time.

Take those crispy filets and make fish tacos - these are great. I make these mostly in the summer when I can make fresh pico de gallo:

Manny's corn tortillas (the best - they have them at Wegman's, bottom shelf in the Mexican food section).
Pico de gallo or your favorite salsa
tartar sauce

I have a gas range - put the flame on low and put the tortilla directly on the range over the flame - it takes about 20 seconds for each side.
If you have an electric range, put the tortilla on a non stick frying pan. It'll take a little longer to cook tho.
When cooked, put a fish filet on on side, give it a little bit of tartar sauce and a tablespoon or two or pico. It'll knock your socks off.

Or put on it whatever you like on your fried fish.

Pico de gallo:
about 4 cups diced fresh tomatoes (drained in a collender)
2 minced fresh jalapeno peppers
2 minced cloves garlic
1 large diced sweet onion (mayan sweet, vidalia)
chopped fresh cilantro (or dried if you can't find fresh)
juice of 1 lime
salt and black pepper to taste

I cook the filets in a frying pan with some oil and garlic powder, then I break them all up and mix them in with pancake batter with some diced onion.

Everybody I've ever fed them to loves it!
