I've got some Crappie I want to eat up for supper. I can bread it and fry it like any other white meat fish. However I'm curious what other options I may have.

I have baked walleye and crappie with just some Mrs Dash on it. Wasn't to bad. I'm looking for something else. Perhaps some marinating and grilling options.

    I really like making a curry sauce for my fish. Sautee about a 1/4 cup of onions, add about a tablespoon of curry powder and a sprinkle of cayene (or no cayene if you don't like heat), and then add a cup of coconut milk and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes. Super yummy on fish or shrimp, and I use it on chicken too.

    The other thing I do with fish is use Old Bay seasoning (there are about 50 different versions of this......it's a fish specific seasoning) and bake it with that and then squeeze some lemon on it when it comes out of the oven. Super good.

    Depends on the size of the filets. I like to take fresh water filets (my dad fishes provides) and roll them around a "stuffing" mixture, sprinkle with lowfat/fat free mozzarella.

    I mix a box of stuffing mix chicken flavor, mixed kind of like in bird prep only with just water (you can find higher fiber stuffing mix and use that instead if you like)

    Add to it a can of tiny shrimp or thawed bag of tiny shrimp
    Add chopped up can of waterchestnuts

    Then I make stuffing balls about 1-2 inches, wrap filets around the stuffing, pack into a nonstick sprayed pan, top with cheese and bake on 350 till fish turns white. 30-40+ minutes.

    Mild white fish such as catfish or trout takes a more delicate marinade of light citrus juice or white wine with a dash of thyme or basil, while a more robustly flavored piece of tuna or salmon stands up to briny soy sauce or apple cider vinegar.

    Here is what I'll be trying. We shall see.

    Walleye or Crappie Fillets
    1/2 cup peanut oil
    1/4 lemon juice
    2 TBSP Parsley
    1 tsp. lemon pepper
    1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
    1/4 tsp. ground fresh chili paste
    2 garlic cloves (chopped)

    Combine oil, lemon juice, parsley, lemon pepper, Worcestershire sauce, chili paste and garlic cloves. Pour over fish. Marinate at room temperature for 1 hour, turning once. Drain, reserving marinade. Place fish in well greased wire broiler basket. Grill over medium-hot coals for 5-8 minutes. Baste with Marinade. Turn; grill until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, 5-8 minutes longer. Sprinkle with paprika is desired.

    I tried this recipe tonight and it was........ bland. At least I thought so. I prefer to eat foods with a lot of rich flavors and this recipe missed that mark. Don't get me wrong. It was good. Just lacking in the flavors I am used to and was hoping for. In fact the garlic cloves and Chili paste were not part of the original recipe.

    I would like to know if it's me or is this recipe really lacking. Please try it and shoot some feedback.

    I like this way of cooking white fish/salmon. poach the fish in white wine and chicken broth with herbs added (fresh preferably but some dried would do) in a wide pan or you can do it in the oven. Take the fish out when cooked and keep warm. Boil the sauce up very rapidly to reduce. Add a little fresh cream and reduce to thicken. It's lovely and a little goes a long way so calorie wise you can control the damage.
  • For white fish, you could make an Asian-style dish by steaming it with a marinade/sauce of watered-down soy sauce & sesame oil. Here's the recipe: http://nomnomcat.com/2011/12/16/scallion-ginger-fish/

    Sriracha, with a squeeze of lime.

    Ingredients:
    4 Tablespoons light mayonnaise
    3 teaspoons mirin, divided
    3 teaspoons Sriracha, divided
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon black pepper
    drop or two of sesame oil
    4 tilapia fillets (or other whitefish)
    1 teaspoon soy sauce

    Directions:
    In a small bowl, blend together the mayonnaise, 2 teaspoons of mirin, 2 teaspoons of sriracha, salt and pepper.

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Place the tilapia in the prepared dish and top each piece with 1/2 tablespoon of the mixture. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

    Meanwhile, take remaining Sriracha mixture and add 1 teaspoon of soy, 1 teaspoon of mirin, and 1 teaspoon of Sriracha. Mix until well combined. Serve along side the fish. Enjoy!
