Around here when we catch white perch, we fry them with yellow corn meal.

Around here hillbillies call them crappie, I pronounce it croppie, even though I too am a hillbilly. Folks in florida call'em specks and folks in Louisiana call'em sockalay. What ever you call'em, we all call,em good!
Next time yall do the corn mill thing dip them in egg first and put some Tony Casheries ( can't remember how to spell that, where's the spelling Nazi's when you need them) Cajun fish fry seasoning in it. I do about a 5:1 ratio. Its gooder-n-sheit! Not sockalay lol. Sac-a-lait. Pronounced sack-ah-lay.
Otto is my co-pilot.

Here in Georgia it is crappie/white perch or specs. Mostly old timers call them white perch or specs. I have about give up bass fishing and all my fishing is for crappie. They are a great eating fish.

When I was a kid growing up in Mass. , the locals called them "calico" bass, which made sense given their coloring. From reading the outdoor mags, I eventually figured out what the rest of y'all called them.
In MA, we also had "kivers" (sunfish) and "white perch" which were a silvery shiner like fish about the size of a yellow perch.

Crappies, anything else is just ridiculous,
Strawberry's, How in the Hell can someone make that kind of association?
Paper mouth Crappies = Big! No idea. Started long before I entered this world.

In Idaho they're croppie, except by some immigrants from other states.

Specks is what I grew up calling them (Florida) and for many years. Then I moved to LA and of course specks is speckled trout, so sac au lait or perch.
My one buddy in LA would call and say 'lets go perch jerking'

As and aside, I don't fry anything in regular corn meal. Too gritty and dirties up the grease. No flavor. The big name down here is Zataran's fish fry, but I find it too bland. Best stuff to me is Louisiana Fish Fry New Orleans Blend. It is corn meal, but in a fine powdered form, like flour. Best seasoned fish fry I've ever found. No need to add anything. I fry shrimp, fish, and even boneless chicken in it. Dip in milk and fry.
Great stuff.

sac au lait= crappie
specks=speckled trout
gasper goo= freshwater drum (my grandmother used to make this in a gravy)
sheaphead and drum are saltwater in the same family. Both are black and grey, but the sheep head has teeth like a human.

Growing up in Ky, NC, and GA we always just called them Crappy, though far north in KY Id hear the yankees say Croppy.
Perusing this thread its nice to see at least some can spell Sac au lait.
Also interesting to hear yankees call them Strawberry bass. wtf?
