Ingredients
6 - 12 Crappie Fillets
4c - Plain yellow corn meal
1tbl - Salt
2 tbl - Black pepper
2tbl - Granulated garlic
½ tbl - Cayenne Pepper
Season liberally with Lawry's Seasoned Salt after frying
4c - Peanut oil
Cooking Instructions
Take your crappie fillets and pat dry. Season with salt, pepper and granulated garlic to taste. Personally I love black pepper so I go a little heavy on it but dont be afraid to make it your own. Mix where the fillets are all coated evenly and place aside in a bowl.
Next make the fish-fry coating. Combine yellow corn meal, salt, black pepper, granulated garlic, and cayenne pepper in a Ziplock bag. Mix evenly.
Once your oil is preheated, place one cooking batch worth (3 to 4) of fillets into the fish fry. Shake the bag vigorously as to evenly coat all fillets. It is important here to not waste any time. They need to go from bowl to bag to oil. If there is a delay, the coating will get soggy and no one wants that on fish. Fry until fish are floating and give you the desired color and texture you are after. This is generally 4 to 6 minutes.
Enjoy!
