Peanut Crappie Recipe

8 small crappie fillets (best when 10 to 12 inches long)

2C. Nut flavored liqueur

8 tsp. peanut butter

4C. Finely ground peanuts

Salt and pepper to taste

4 C. peanut oil (for frying)

Marinate fillets overnight in your favorite nut flavored liqueur; I suggest Frangelica.

Drain from marinade and arrange on a prep surface.

Lightly coat fillets in peanut butter (all over)

Next take finely ground peanuts and sprinkle on the fillets, making sure the peanuts coat the fillets as a crust.

Then fry coated fillets in peanut oil until done or golden brown.

This recipe has been in our family for several generations, but I wanted to reveal it to fellow crappie fishermen; enjoy!
