Fried Crappie With A Twist

I’ve posted several times about our experiences with fried crappie with lemon/butter/caper sauce, but this version has two changes.  We normally pan-fry the fish naked or with a light dusting of flour, then keep it warm while we make the sauce.

After my recent experience using the sauce with a cornmeal coating I decided to make an entire batch using it.  The fish got seasoned with S&P then a dredge in plain white cornmeal.



It was fried in batches in olive oil and butter then kept warm a 140* toaster oven.


I made the sauce and when it was nearly ready. I tossed in some shrimp for the second change to our usual fare.



It was delicious and the shrimp seemed to like this sauce.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.

  6. Looks delicious Larry. I'm going to have to Google crappie. You talk about it all the time and I don't know what it is. I'm assuming a fresh water fish. Where do you buy it? As you can tell, we're crappie deprived here in Colorado.

  7. When I was a kid, I always laughed at the name of that fish! Back in 1963 or something my mom held the state record in Arkansas for catching the biggest crappie! She had it mounted! LOL!
