i have seen good recipes for crappie besides frying in the past but i did not pay much attention. but now i need to change my diet for health reasons. so this time i am paying close attention. need recipe for baking and/or grilling or any way of cooking besides frying. this time i will try them and make sure i write them down. thanks.

This is awesome! I believe it was posted by PondJumper. They come out very crispy. Don't cook a bunch because you will eat every single one of them.

Try these Crappie Taco's

I just dust them with a flour based fish fry, run them through a milk/egg wash, pour some cheap corn flakes, Tony Chacherey's (I can't spell it), garlic powder, and onion salt in a food processor and chop them up, then coat the fish with the corn flakes mix. Spray them down with olive oil and bake. I flip about 10-15 minutes and cook about 10 more. Come out pretty good. Also good warmed up. I cook 10 fillets at a time, my wife and I eat 4, and then I have 3 lunches.Microwave for 1 min.

Here's another vote for crappie tacos! My version...
Pepop's Dilly Lime Crappie Tacos

The recipe is about half way down the thread. BTW, that Salsa recipe is to die for when fresh garden tomato's cilantro & onion's are available.

shadrap, Google "en papillote" and look at the images. the method is great for baking a moist and flavorful fish dish. I've used it for years in restaurants/catering/ personal chef-ing etc. Enjoy.

You might try 'crappiecakes'. Get some Zatarins Crabcake mix from WalMart, follow the directions and that's it. Obviously, you want to substitute crappie for crab in the directions!

Zatarains Crisp & Bake for Seafood. Dip in egg and milk wash, roll fillets in Crisp & Bake then put fillets on aluminum foil in baking pan in 425 oven for 20 minutes. Drizzle lemon juice on them before eating.

I'll 2nd this, wife loves crab cakes made with crappie.

I boiled the filets 3 minutes in crab boil & let them soak for 20 minutes before adding to mixture.

We like to wrap them in bacon, sprinkle some seasoned salt, either garlic or lemon pepper and bake at 350 til done.

A quick little recipe that we had this evening Crappie in Orange butter oven - 450 bout 2 lbs of fillets 4 tsp of grated orange peel ( stop before you hit the white, orange is good) 4 tsp of orange juice 6 teaspoons of melted butter
grease your baking pan, dish rinse and pat dry your fillets line the bottom of your cookin dish mix the above ingredients and pour over your fillets peel your orange, take half of your slices and spread them around on top of the fillets, eat the other half
cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes, depending on slab size
I don't know which is better the orange crappie or the crappie oranges
It's baked, but mmmmmmm good
