    Default How many fillets?


    I'm doing a fish fry this afternoon. How many crappie fillets (each fish was about a lb or thereabouts) should I prepare for 6 people. These things ain't big.

    A pound fish should be a pretty decent fillet. I seldom ever clean anything bigger than that. We eat fish at least once a week. Four fillets a piece would be plenty if we were sitting down to a dinner. If I was in the back yard with some buddies screwing around, you might double that, especially if there are adult beverages being consumed.

    Wife and I went out Sunday afternoon and kept 7 of the larger ones, only one or two was what I would call a slab

    I fileted them and it seemed that was perfect for the two of us, none left but a full belly with no problem

    Had we had more we would have eaten more

    I am saying 3-4 fish pp is fine

    Wednesday I kept 6. Smallest being right at 9" and biggest at 13". It was the perfect amount for me and my fiancé paired with some Mac and Cheese.
