Peanut Crappie Recipe



8 small crappie fillets (best when 10 to 12 inches long)

2C. Nut flavored liqueur

8 tsp. peanut butter

4C. Finely ground peanuts

Salt and pepper to taste

4 C. peanut oil (for frying)

 

Marinate fillets overnight in your favorite nut flavored liqueur; I suggest Frangelica.

Drain from marinade and arrange on a prep surface.

Lightly coat fillets in peanut butter (all over)

Next take finely ground peanuts and sprinkle on the fillets, making sure the peanuts coat the fillets as a crust.

Then fry coated fillets in peanut oil until done or golden brown.

This recipe has been in our family for several generations, but I wanted to reveal it to fellow crappie fishermen; enjoy!

 Dip in plain old hot dog mustard.  (Salt and pepper to taste if you feel the need!)

 Roll in cornmeal, bread crumbs or saltine crumbs

 Deep fry until golden brown at 350 degrees (don't overcook)

  eadcrumbs and cover completely shaking off any extra bread crumbs. In a skillet
add oil and heat. You want the oil hot. To make sure it hot enough put a little bread crumb in if it bubbles around it it’s hot
 enough. Put fillets in and cook until golden brown.

French's yellow mustard
Buttermilk
Lea&Perrins Worcestershire Sauce
Red pepper,black pepper,salt,garlic powder,onion power

liberally with mustard.
 then pour buttermilk over filets and soak for at least 15 minutes.

To fry roll or shake filets in Zatarains Fish-Fri and drop in peanut oil heated to 365 degrees.

Garlic Crappie Recipe



Best and easiest recipe I've ever used!

 Typical egg and milk to dip the fillets in to get the rest of the mixture to stick

 Crush 1 sleeve of Saltine crackers in a large ziplock bag.

 Add 1/8th to 1/4th teaspoon garlic powder and shake. (Not garlic salt as the saltines have plenty)

 Melt butter in frying pan, dip fillets in milk/egg mixture and put in baggie.

 Shake until coated with the cracker/garlic mixture and place in hot frying pan.

  Fry for 5 min. per side or longer if you like crispy critters
