How long

[RottManK9]

I'm new to cooking fish, but my boys want to catch some Crappie and fry it up so I gotta ask. How do you know when the fish is fried and ready to eat?

shouldnt take more then a few minutes...do you have a frier or use a pan...

if your using fryr 2-3 minutes is plenty.. just watch the outside coating once it looks done its fine cause inside cooks faster...a minute or 2 on each side if using a skillet is fine...less your cooking a huge fish.....

just make sure oil is 350-375 degrees

Cook it until the crust is golden brown and the meat will be done. I cook them at 350 degrees until golden brown.
