I have tried several of the recipes on CDC and love all of them. Try the crappie bisque which is outstanding especially with a cold frosty bottle of Busch Beer and crunchy bread. Plus add some shrimp to the recipe and it's even better. Baked parmesean will really thrill your friends who claim to not like fishy taste. Fish taco's are good but wouldn't use beer batter or even bisquick 7 up one as it makes too much breading on them IMO. Panko flakes or simply cornmeal/flour combo's are good and basic. Just try simple sauteed veggies in pan with olive oil/butter and then put crappie filets in late without anything but salt and pepper and it's awesome and very quick. use mustard or miracle whip instead of egg bath gives it different taste too.
