Scrape or Skin

[Renosky]

I see a lot of folks like to cook their fish whole. I will from time to time skin a few. I like the flavor from the bones being cooked in the fish but i cannot stand the skin.Mostly I just fillet and cook them in some easy dipt. Best way I've found to cook crappie.

I'll fillet the large ones and keep those 10 1/4" - 11" for frying whole. I enjoy fried whole crappie and especially the tails...fried crisp, they are wonderful crappie "Chips"[/B].

Me and my boy actually prefer the smaller ones fried whole over the fillets. When we go we keep a mess of small ones for us and fillet the rest for the wife and daughter.

I like it just the opposite no bones but i like the skin on it "different strokes"
I guess?

Hey Renosky!!!!! We might be distantly related!!!! It appears we have very similar names. I am always on the lookout for long lost kin. Do you think there is a chance? Send me an email and we can compare notes if you're interested.

I like them whole and crispy. My uncle showed me a method of eating them where you can just remove the top fin and split open and enjoy without dealing with allot of bones.:D
