Spicy Crappie

[Boudreauxsbaits]

1 pound crappie fillets
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
Salt to taste
3/4 cups cornmeal
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Vegetable oil

Cut fillets into 3x1x1/2-inch strips; set aside. Combine garlic powder, cayenne and salt; sprinkle a little on both sides of fish. Let stand a few minutes. Combine cornmeal, flour and paprika. Coat fish strips with cornmeal mixture. Pour oil to a depth of 1 1/2 inches in heavy skillet.
Fry about one-fourth of fish strips in hot oil (about 375 degrees) over medium high heat, about 1 minute or until golden. Remove and drain
on paper towel; set aside. Repeat with remaining fish strips. Serve with tartar sauce if desired.
