Found it on Ozark Anglers. Sounds tasty and would be KETO friendly without the crackers.
Brine 8 crappie fillets in 1C water 1tbs brown sugar and 1 tbs salt for about an hour. Rinse and drain the fish, dry on a rack overnight in the fridge if you have the time. (If you just wanna get on with it smoke it when you can) Smoke at 175° for about 2 hours or until the thickest part of the fish is 150°. Throw the fish, 2 blocks of cream cheese, black pepper to taste, juice from 1/2 a lemon, and a cup of ranch dressing in the food processor and blend till it's creamy. Adjust the ingredients to your liking. Green onions would be good in it. Serve with Ritz crackers or the cracker or chip of your choice and enjoy.
Ok, I'm on it. Haven't had any smoked fish dip since I lived in Minisoda. Thanks!
What's a KETO????
Keto is a high fat, moderate protein, and low carb diet. Approx 70-25-5
That's funny. I was gonna post my recipe, but you beat me to it. That's my recipe from OAF. It is keto friendly, and pretty easy to make. You can skip the brining process and it'll still turn out fine. I've made it with flounder too. I think you could use any fish that you have on hand and it'd be pretty good.

Great recipe. What wood do you recommend for smoking? I have been on a mesquite rut recently, but that may be too strong for a mild fish.

Sliced bell peppers, cucumbers, celery, etc. There are also low carb breads and tortillas.
Hadn’t smoked em yet just figured they would fall apart ! but they are mighty fine un battered just salted and peppered and fried in olive oil! Just don’t cook em too long or they will fall apart! I’m loving the keto! 3 weeks on board and the decrease in joint pain is unbelievable !
I cook them on my egg fairly often. Crappie take in a lot of smoke flavor, in a hurry. Just cooking them 15-20 minutes, they are very smokey. I leave the scales and skin on the fillet and cook them, skin side down. As long as you keep the fire cool and it doesn't flare up, the scales don't burn and it makes taking them off the grill and serving them so very easy. Put a dollop of butter and some freshly pressed garlic on each fillet while cooking.
