Any good recipe ideas for crappies or perch besides breading and frying them? I'm trying to cut down on fat, but I haven't found another tasty way to cook them.

Check out this website. Lots of good recipes. I usually fry fish but taking little bits and trying different things on the grill is always fun.

just use a little drizzle of olive oil and pan fry untill cooked. As for seasoning, I like blackened but its you're preference.

A very small amount of butter, salt and pepper with a dash of garlic. Wrap it in tin foil and put on the grill. For a perch or crappie, once you hear the juices makin noise inside the packet it will only take about five to seven more minutes before it is done.

you can make a dish called ceviche. You cut the filets up into little chunks and mix them with chopped sweet onion, a tomato, a little minced garlic to taste, and chopped cilantro. You can aslo add sweet bell peppers and jalapenos if you like. Then cover the mixture with the juice of 6-7 limes or how many ever it takes to cover the fish. The acid in the juice cooks the fish. Put the mixture in the fridge over night. Serve with corne chips and Coronas!

I'm with streack. A little seasoning, butter and lemon juice, double wrap in foil and put em on a grill or campfire. I think you get a much truer flavor of the crappie this way. I cook trout the same way, never have fried thats for catfish.

You can also cut them into bite sized pieces put in a pot w/small amount of water and a little bit of salt, boil for two or three minutes to get a stock going for stew then add can of condensed tomato soup and any vegies you like then taste and season ,if needed. you could also add bout quarter cup milk and small can of condensed cream of mushroom soup for a chowder like dish.Enjoy!

ever try grilling them in foil with the spices you like inside

[dwaynez]

I like to lightly season them and cut into strips, grill them over foil and then I lay them on top of a fresh salad. I also make a citrus dressing with pineapple and orange juice and some cajun spices.

Great for a warm summers day or just a light meal,

Just another alternative recipe for you
