Crappie is one of the finest tasting of any freshwater table fare, in the opinion of many the finest. The fish offer tender, flaky fillets with such a sweet taste that I have never known anyone alter it’s natural flavor, other than to salt and add certain spices to enhance it to their own preference. The removal of dark meat ,that Pappy notes, found in certain species (bluefish, catfish, etc.) is not a character of all fish.
Pass the "Sportsman Baton" on before you're gone, promote values for others to hunt and fish upon.
