Grilled Crappie for lunch....

Dock fishing at the office was good yesterday. In two hours James, Don & I caught two buckets full of nice ones. I filleted ten with 5 over 14", rest were 11"-12" .

Grilled a couple for lunch when I got home. If you haven't tried grilled crappie you're missing a treat.
I season the fillets with salt, pepper and Cajun spice , put a small amount of butter in pan ,just enough so they don't stick and heat until the butter starts to brown. Place the whole fillets in and cook until bottom starts to brown then carefully turn over. Only turn once as they tend to fall apart. They cook fast. You can add any seasoning you like; I like a little lemon juice on them....ENJOY

mmmmmmmm

Mighty fine!

Sounds delicious

Sounds good, love me some fresh crappie

That sounds Great!

Yum!!!

We grilled some fresh caught crappie last night and dusted it with a rub I just found called Boars Night Out White Lightning with double garlic butter and man it was GOOD!

Grilled with baked brussels sprouts and cilantro cream sauce...

Grilled crappie enchiladas with home made green chili sauce.. Testing my camp cook set-up.

Not being a smarta$$ but isn’t that called sauté and not grill?

Who cares what it’s called - it looks delicious

On lower heat with butter/oil in a pan, yeah sauté is a better description. Higher heat in a pan (or cast iron) with butter/oil, "Blackend" is a better description, were you get the caramelization, which is what I did.

Looks amazingly delicious. Thanks for sharing.

I just finished up some fried crappie with all the fixins' and those two dishes are literally making my mouth water!

Both those meals look very tasty!

One super thread. Some "MIGHTY GOOD" cooks here.

I'm impressed with y'alls' creativity.

For actual grilling on grates, firmer species like white bass and even smallish freshwater drum will hold together much better for you. Wouldn't turn down any of your good stuff here, though.
