Mustard marinated Fried crappie Fillets

**Kellog** · 01-14-2013, 01:51 AM

I was schooled by a young fellow at a fish fry a while back. He put his fresh fillets in a ziplock bag in yellow mustard for about 15 minutes or so. The fillets were taken from the mustard and straight into the breader bowl. After a couple shakes of the breader bowl he took the breaded fillets out and placed them on a platter. When all of the breader was moistened by the mustard on the fillets he dropped them into his 375 degree oil until they were a rich dark golden brown and floated well. The moistened breader seals in the moisture and basically steam cooks the fillet from the inside while having a crunchy coating on the outside. The fillets are flaky when done. I have had Crappie fillets fixed many different ways, but to me this one beats them all. You know what they say," Never trust a skinny cook".

Give this a try. You'll be glad you did.

I have done that before with a few different fish but never crappie. I don't like mustard and was surprised the first time I ate it. Doesn't taste like mustard.

What about honey mustard, I think I will try it next time I fry fish. Don't fry that much, bake mostly. I know my brother-in-law from florida make a mustard sauce using mape syrup for dipping fried deer loin and gator tail and its very good.

Should work. I used bbg sauce one time on some shark. Turned out ok, but burned easy.
