    Crappie just beg to be fried. I have put them in an aluminum pan with butter/salt and pepper. I have heard of people using a cedar plank as well.

    Please don't try to fry anything in your egg - that's asking for a major fire and danger! Even excessive fat in a drip pan can catch fire and do serious damage.

    I have a commercial fryer in my grilling station in my back yard. I am looking for some grilling recipe for grilling. I have used a pan with butter and seasoning on my weber. Thanks

    At the risk of being one of those people who chime in with no direct experience, I will say that I've cooked and eaten lots of Crappie, but not grilled them. I have grilled surf perch, which are a similar size/ shape and even close in taste. What I do with them is gut/ clean/ scale/ head & tail them. Rinse and pat dry. If the fish are good sized/ thick, make 2-3 diagonal slashes thru the flesh, to the ribs. Rub with some olive oil, salt/ pepper/ or rub to taste (try Dizzy Pig Tsunami Spin)and slide a couple of thin lemon slices into the body cavity. I grill direct over med heat (350-400) for 5 min per side- use your judgement based on size of the fish. Flip once.
    For another taste, use slices of ginger in the cavity, and sprinkle with soy after turning them.
    Let us know how it turns out. And I like that its always 5:00 at the river!

    I have cooked them in a tin foil pouch with evoo and lemon pepper and some butter. I leave the pouch open at the top to get some smoke. I have always said that I would try them direct on top of slices of lemon to keep them from sticking. I have also done catfish this way too. Maybe even some lemon and herb rub on them would be good as well. I live down close to Cabot but I come to Wynne to work nice to see you on the board JD. John
