Some years ago when I first heard about someone catching a "crappie" around here I thought "what the hell is a crappie and where did it come from". I've been fishing that lake since I could walk and I have never heard of a crappie. Then a fisherman showed me his stringer of crappies. I figured he was nuts because what he had there was a stringer of strawberry bass! Did you grow up catching crappies or did they have another name back then?

When it comes to fried fish, it's hard to beat pan fried crappie!

Crappies here in NC. I prefer House Autry batter for my fish.

Pronounced as "croppie" around here. Sometimes called "specks" or "papermouth".

I have heard of folks around Reelfoot Lake in TN call them sac-au-lait. Reelfoot is reputed to be the best crappie fishing destination in the U.S.

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!

Most folks here call them croppie. Some of the older black folk call them white perch.

I was once fishing on Lake Caddo with a bunch of coon asses calling them Sac au lait. Took me quite a while to figure out what the hell they were talking about! Most Texans call them Crappie, pronounced as Croppie.
