I can't say that I can tell the difference. I've never noticed that either variety tastes like catfish ..
So the primary species in my area is the Black Crappie so that is all I have ever eaten. I fished a lake that had a small population of White Crappie this past weenend and I got my hands on a pansize White Crappie. I had heard that they taste so much better than Black Crappie so I was excited. Well I prepared the filets and did a side by side taste test. I was not impressed and prefer the Black over the White. The White had the constistency of catfish meat and tasted bland while the Black was tender and sweeter. Was this a fluke or is there that much differece in the meat? Also want to know what your preference is and why.
Thanks

If I catch one again this weekend I will compare again. It was a diffrent taste and texture for sho this time.
No difference to me.

About the same , maybe blacks a little firmer meat IMO. Not enough difference to say there is one as far as taste or anything.

Hmmm...by the time I've fried a mess I don't usually remember which was black or white ? Interesting question though. Now you've got me wanting to see if I can tell a difference.
