Do you like them fried? Fillet them, mix some cornmeal and flour - more flour than cornmeal. Add salt, pepper and parsley. Beat some eggs and a little milk up. Dip the fish in the egg then the flour mix then the egg and back to the flour mix. Fry in a cast iron pan and you can't go wrong. Drain on a rack not a paper towel and they will stay crisp. My husband loves this and he is not a real fan of fish except sunnies.

Here's a good one.

Crush a couple packages of saltine crackers(I use a blender to crush them real fine.

Add about 1/2 cup of corn meal.
1 tablespoon of cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon of season salt

Dip Dry fish fillets in a couple of beaten eggs. Then coat in cracker crumb mixture and place in a frying pan of HOT oil. Fry 2-3 minutes on each side(till golden brown). Place on a plate with a layer of paper towels.

Goes very good with panfish. If doing bigger fish, cut fillets into smaller pieces so they cook faster.

Keep it simple, here's what I like to do.

1 cup flour
1 cup Fryin Magic
Lawrys Seasoned Salt (to desire)
Black Pepper (to desire)

Let the fillets dry a little bit, batter when damp, and fry them up.

good luck, and happy meals.

I've tried a lot of homemade recipes but I always go back to Shorelunch. Cajun Shorelunch is my preferred way of fryin crappie and gills. Cajun Shorelunch, salt, pepper, flour, milk, (some times you can add egg but I prefer not to). Works good for walleye too.

Good Fishin, Matt.

Cajun Shorelunch is too hot for my taste!!!!!! My brother ruined a bunch of nice Red Lake crappie fillets once with some of that cajun dump!

[Guest]

I agree with BlackJack, but everyone has their own preference.

Sorry, I should have clearified myself when I said Cajun Shorelunch. I mix regular Shorelunch with a portion of Cajun Shorelunch so that way you get the hint of Cajun that isn't too strong. I don't mind spicy food but I don't like to mess with the fresh caught fish. Sorry if I disturbed the taste buds guys.

Good Fishin, Matt.

[fishinphyl]

Sorry Matt, but I do not care for the Shorelunch. It seems that the flavor is so strong you can not taste the fish. Just my opinion.

my family are fish eaters and young 7 & 6 we like about 1 cup potato buds and 4 or 5 saltine crackers crushed fine add some garlic powder and pepper dip in egg wash then potato mixture and fry. they will eat like crazy . this is the wife's favorite meal ..fish ,potatoes and corn. metro

I agree with all of you, LOL.

I like the italian shore lunch,
I dont even dip in any egg,
I just take my pieces, throw
them in a Big container with shore
luch and shake , shake, shake, then fry.
I will have to try some of these other recipes, i hear of alot of people using the cornmeal thing.
Bass, I cut into smaller pieces, and soak in milk for about an hour,
Ya, I know what you folks are saying,

BASS? ICK! thats what I used to think,
but its all in how you prepare the fish i guess, but I only keep them early season and late, whennthe water is nice and cool.
I have yet to try them cats though,
hear their good as well,
never would have thunk

Once you get the hang of this tecnique, you can clean panfish without scaling or even gutting. Pretty sweet.
