Cajun Crappie Recipe

Cajun Crappie
(Please welcome guest poster Bobby from Chinese Recipes)
One of my favorite things to do during the summer here in Michigan is go fishing. Bluegills and crappie taste great and there’s nothing better than some fresh fish. A few days ago I went fishing and caught some pretty nice crappies and I figured I would try something different with them. I decided to try a little heat by making a delicious recipe for Cajun crappie. I felt the Cajun seasoning played an important role giving it just the right amount of heat. The fish is first tipped in batter, rolled in a spicy cornmeal mixture, and then fried in the pan. This recipe is best served with Tabasco sauce, pepper sauce, or
pineapple salsa.

What a great looking recipe! I do have to tell you that there is no such thing as a Cajun Crappie though. We here in Cajunland called them Sacalait or choupique. Just a bit of trivia for ya’ll! ;)

That looks like a very elegant dish. I’m not much of a fish person, however. The presentation is amazing though.
