      Crappie is a very delicate sweet fish. You want to lightly season it and don't over cook it. I have a ton of them in the tank at my house. My grandmother would simply scale them, knock the heads and fins off and lightly season them with salt pepper and garlic. Roast them in the oven pretty dry around 375 with convection until they are flakey. The skin has a decent amount of oil to keep them moist. When you pull them, just brush with melted butter, and squeeze a lemon over. Pure heaven! Haven't made that in years. Watch out for bones!

        cool! mine are already pure fillets...my buddy and I caught 28 one night and 12 the other .. we fished all night and we were dead tired... so he cleaned them and brought them back to me in a 4 big zip lock bags frozen ... I was hoping to bake them and add some kind of sauce .. maybe a creamy crawfish sauce ????? serve over rice with some veggie of sort ..

        I found tons of recipe on the net but most seem to fry them .. although i've eaten them that way and they are really good that way, I've got to stay off fried foods .. or mama will kick my butt!

          Just lightly pan fry them unbattered in olive oil. Season lightly though. A cream sauce will do well and so well a light white wine and tomato sauce with some green olives. Use a sweet wine like a Riesling or a Pinot grigio. Use a cup of wine and a cup of 1/2 cup of tomato sauce, spoon this over your cooked fish. Season the sauce with a little basil, and salt and pepper.

              I was real vague on those directions. Here's what I meant. Pan fry the fish lightly with just some sea salt and pepper, maybe a touch or cracked coriander also. No harsh herbs on the fish.

              Simmer the sauce I described. Season with a bit of onion powder, salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon, an oregano sprig if you feel up to it as well. Make the sauce a little briny or slightly salty. Trust me, with the sweet flakiness of the fish it will be spot on. Reduce it for a couple minutes to combine the Flavors in a sauce pan. Roll up some fresh basil and slice it in rings. Place that on top of the lightly seasoned fish. Then pour the hot sauce over the fresh basil and fish. Serve with steamed broccoli florets tossed in a little melted butter, with garlic, pepper, and a little salt. You are talking mucho flavor in a 500-700 calorie meal.
