Headed up to AR this weekend, taking some of my tasty ribs to burn, but my bud up there has a cooler full of crappie took out of lake DeGray and I'm sure it will be delish.
Easter Sunday feast for the chosen few. Bismarck, AR, baby. We git 'er done!
Eat till you cain't no mo, then break into the Tennessee sour mash. Hey, I'm a cheap date.
You'll be hooked. Northern Pike and Muskies are the best fighters but Walleyes are the best eaters.
Crap Pie?
Gross
I have some in my sink AT THIS MOMENT thawing out to fry for dinner. But in Louisiana we call them sac-a-lait!
A person could make big money opening some sort of
‘Catfish Kitchen’ here in Colorado.
Lots of folks wonder why it is so difficult to find a place
that cooks catfish in this state, and I wonder too.
Fried crappie is mighty fine....mighty fine. I had a worker one time whose parents naturalized here from Peru. She brought some crappie for me to try one time that was before sushi became so big around here. She thinly sliced small strips of raw fileted crappie and then put them in lemon juice with a few sprigs of cilantro and let them marinate overnight in the frig. At that time I wasn't to up on eating raw fish, but she told me the lemon juice kinda cooks the fish in a different manner and that it didn't taste raw. I tried it and she was right. It was downright tasty. Probably would be real tasty fixed like sushi draped over a stuffed sticky rice roll with some wasabi and fresh ginger.
Hope you have a good time here this weekend. - OB1
Give me a 14lb snook anyday.
In Minnesota most people stay away from eating crappie or northern pike in the summer months. Crappie caught in warm water just seems mushy and a bit too fishy tasting to me. Crappie caught under the ice is wonderful though. Walleye are good any time of year, as are bluegill and perch.
