Reply With QuoteMy favorite is House Autry Yellow Corn Meal, but I can't find it anymore. I season it up but the sweetish flavor of it really makes the crappie delicious. I used House Autry Seafood breader and it was ok, but kind of over powered the crappie.

The problem came with the thicker fillets. If I left them in the oil (350*-360*) long enough to turn the Panko golden, the fish was still pinkish in the middle. If I left them long enough to cook the fish through, the Panko was beyond golden. It had gone to a dark brown. Still OK to eat, but I prefer just the Corn Meal with a bit of flour.Originally Posted by smoothlures
And CP - I will always add a little salt to my mix because I think the taste of salting during cooking is better than adding it later.
I am still experimenting and may some day find the Holy Grail of Crappie Frying- when I do I will let you all know.

After using cornmeal for most of my life I wanted something different. I tried 5 or 6 different fish fry mixed and liked them all but could not remember which I liked the best. For quite some time now when I go to the store I buy several different ones and mix them all together and then store in coffe containers. It gives a little of everything and is pretty good that way.

I like the Golden Dipt Cajun, Think that might be made by McCormicks? I agree with CUZZIN Ky Colonel is also hard to beat.

My problem is just the opposite. I prefer House Autry, but to get it golden brown the thin fillets like crappie and other panfish overcook. I've found cracker crumbs or cracker meal work better for them since if gets brown quicker. Supposedly my fryer is running between 350 and 375 when I fry fish in canola oil.

I use yellow cornmeal and mix in a lot of Louisanne cajun seasoning, sea salt, and black pepper. I dip the fish in a mixture of canned milk and egg, then shake it up in a ziplock bag with the cornmeal/seasonings and drop it in the grease.
