Back when I used to Crappie fish a lot, I would catch them occasionally, but usually threw them back. For some reason I kept one one day and filleted it along with the crappie. My neighbor and fishing buddy was at the house when I was eating those fish, and I gave him one of the fillets. He said, "We are not throwing any more of those back." They are sold at the fish market here, along with Buffalo and catfish. I knew they were good, but seldom kept them but threw them back along with any bream or bass, all good eats. miles
