Crappie not fried

[Planking]

Blackened crappie is hard to beat. I use olive oil.

Blackened. Recipes above are making me hungry. Dipped in melted butter, then coated with seasoning and in the skillet/blackstone.

With this new diet my cardiologist has me on fried is not an option, so I'm thinking grilled or baked y'all got any recipes

Process as usual. Scale & gut them, cut the fins & head off (leave the tail) just like you would for a fried one. Leave the skin on. Take your knife, cross-hatch down into the meat (1/2" pattern), and season to taste.

Grill on high heat until the skin is crispy. Eat everything but the bones

Thanks guys. This new diet is opposite of what I have always done with almost everything. But after my last lab work it does seem to be working, don't even have to take cholesterol meds anymore

Usually it's the cigarette after the fried crappie that gets ya.

Blackened sounds awesome.

Never smoked.
After the test with dye in a CT, doc recommended the Mediterranean diet, and you also recommended a plant based diet ( Thanks by the way). Having to learn new ways to cook.

good luck to you. ive had to switch from the mediterranean to the DASH style of eating due to high bp and diabetes. not much difference except the reduction of salt and more whole grains and vegetables than meat.

youre going to pick up a lot of saturated fat dipping filets in butter for blackening.

I will have to look in my recipes, but I think I have a great baked recipe I created back in the 80's. I think it was a creole recipe.

Found the recipe
