Firehouse Fish Fry

Crappie and Perch holds up there with Walleye. Sunfish (bluegill) from cold water is also tasty.

Happy to see you posting with all the flooding happening in your area.

Looks like perfection to me! Love to get some crappie. I used to live off them when I was living in Arkansas.

Thanks. Crazy rain event. Nowhere near like what happened here in 2016 though, that was more rain over a wider area. This was record rainfall in a small area. Just north of me got 14.7" of rain in 13 hours.

So far, 19" of rain since Monday at the house....Been a really wet spring.

Thanks Steve! Didn't know you lived in the south for a while...what part of Arkansas?

A few places. North Little Rock, up around Benton, and on Lake Conway. Loved it there. My backdoor was the lake. Some of the best crappie fishing I've ever had.

Oh man that looks like a great plate. And I like the Idea of using the pizza boxes.

You were living in the beginnings of the pretty part of Arkansas. Love the NW Arkansas area.

So do I. I haven't been back in that area since my mother passed away in 2018.

Looks so good, nice fish fry! And none more deserving of it than those it was cooked for!

Ain't that the truth. Some may argue otherwise, but there really is no better tasting fish swimming in fresh water....

I'm glad you clarified that at the end "fresh water" although whole fried Bream could be king in my opinion.
Ling Cod, rock fish/ bottom fish and Striped Bass are by far the best salt water fish to fry in my opinion they are all better than Haddock. Halibut is killer as well as long as you don't dry it out by over frying it.

But you're right, Crappie are hard to beat fried for fish tacos. Hell of a job on the fish fry, it all looks perfectly cooked.

When it comes to the salt, I prefer flounder, but all those that you mentioned and a few more, are high on my list for sure.

We don't target flounder out here when we fish but do go after Sand dabs every now and then, and they are super, super good fried.

Wow late on this dang I missed dinner just my luck.
A great looking cook Indi I could pull up a chair for one or more of those plates.

Coin toss for me between crappie and walleye. Yours look fantastic and I enjoy that seasoning also.
