Expanding on Fish Fry post

[crappieseeker]

What is your favorite way to cook slabs? I am sure there is a post on this somewhere, but I cannot find it.

Thank you.

I take a bowl of flower and powder the fillets, then I dip them into a bowl of beaten eggs, then I dip them into crushed salt and vinager potato chips. From there they go into the deep frier. Usually I turn on the oven to 180 and let them drain off.

Commercial "fish fry product" and add to that an equal amount of "butter flavored crackers"--ritz or town house crushed but not powdered. add a little black pepper to taste. Dip fillets in milk then shake in ziplock bag with dry contents. Fry 2-3 min in just enough oil to cover the bottom of a cast iron skillet. Usually on the neighbooring burner is sliced potatoes and onions to go with. Start the spuds first they take much longer. simple but effective.

Club crackers ground to powder, garlic salt and lemon pepper, some flour, either cajun or italian seasoning.

soak in milk, drop in bag to bread, fry, enjoy.

repeat as necessary.

a couple eggs small amount of beer mix have a bag of crushed saltines... let the fillets soak in the egg mix and put fillet in bag of saltines...push the saltines into the fillet and get a good cover....then cook in oil and there you have some good eatin...

garlic suate crappie

melt 2-3 tablespoons butter and crushed garlic from a jar, a little lemon jouce and white wine in a pan to med high heat--don't burn the butter. Put fillets in uncoated. Saute in butter, managing heat carefuly, so the garlic chunks turn brown and the outsides of the fillets have some brown edge. Sprinkle Lemon pepper and dill while cooking.

As always, best if fish is fresh. Serve with rice pilaf or cous cous and steamed broccoli or asparagus for a "fish fry" your wife will want to light candles for, and you know what happens next....
