Blue Gills in ground pretzels

[Marbleye'd]

I went out and found some nice Gills today, came home and had no shore lunch (black box is my favorite). I cant remember where I seen this, but I had a bag of pretzels. I deep fried them after soaking in milk. I didn't add anything but pretzels. MAN THAT WAS GOOD! If this is where I seen that recipe I love to give credit to you...if not..I just had to share.

I agree they are good that way. Plus I like corn flake crumbs added in also...

Personally I do an egg wash and then roll in corn flakes that are crushed up with oatmeal. Then fry.

We were out of eggs too. Corn flakes and oatmeal sounds good.

Try honey dijon pretzels next time, you wont be disappointed. I've been doing crappies this way for a long time.

Just crunch up the corn flakes first and then put some oatmeal in it. We ran out of stuff too once and came up with that one. We made pancakes out of cornbread mix before as well and they turned out great. They were so sweet you just had to add a little butter and enjoy. It is interesting the stuff one might substitute when cooking.

Man you can make a guy hungry.

Was watching the Today Show yesterday and the chef on there was using crushed Captian Crunch cereal....

Captain Crunch on fish....I bet that would be interesting. Hmmmmmmmmm

If you like them in corn flackes,

you should try em in Frosted Flakes. "Fish Candy"

[boneyslayer]

Also instant potatos, instant pancake mix work real well and are handy items to take on a shore lunch.

[Sandmannd]

Frosted Flakes are good, Graham Crackers, soda crackers, animal crackers, capt crunch, those are all good.

Really, is there a bad way to make fish?

I'd be hesitant because of the sugar.

Another is Cajun seasoned fish. Talk about wonderful.

Would like to also know if you guys use tarter sauce, lemon, or plain? Just curious, personally I like a little lemon.

Or Horseradish if the nose is a little runny.

Guys you can look here for some different ways to do your fish.

My mother-in-law used to bake them in potato chips or corn flakes which were both really good. I usually fall back on Shorelunch with some instant potato flakes added for crunch and some Old Bay for flavoring.

Used to go on an annual fishing trip and one guy every year was responsible for cooking a meal of fish and his specialty was in Ritz crackers. Man those were good maybe even more as I wasn't doing the cooking that day.

Wife is a huge cocktail sauce fan and she has converted me to both tarter and cocktail on my fish. That extra zip from the cocktail is good.

I like the pretzel idea and will be giving that one a shot.

They're Grrrreat!

Sorry couldn't resist. Never tried them that way.

Saw a food network program last week and they rolled the fish in crushed up puffed rice, looked really tasty.

Here's one that I have heard of and sounds good:

Mix equal parts regular and cajun shore lunch. Add crushed corn flakes. Dip fillets in egg or milk and roll in mixture.

I also tried crushed cool ranch doritos, which were highly recommended but did't care for it as they doritos seemed to take a burned taste even though the oil wasnt too hot.

That's what I do.

Crappie/bluegill fillets, eggwashed w/ crushed Hot Cheetos -OR- Funyans. BELIEVE IT! =D

[thedeadsea]

One other one I forgot to mention before.

Traditional Shorelunch but dip the fish in buttermilk. This takes it to a whole new level. Sort of like the extra crispy from KFC.

I have tried this with northern, It was really good but I like salty over sweet I guess.

Seriously? I love those flamin hot cheetoes, I'll try a fillet or two next time I fry some up. Actually sounds pretty good.

[crappiekid]

any kind of smashed PRINGLES as well.
