Always knew them as Crappie, but said like "Croppy".
We had the "Crappie-thon on Chautauqua Lake for years. Never did catch Tangle Free Tom (worth up to I believe $25K if you used the right equipment from the right store).

When it comes to fried fish, it's hard to beat pan fried crappie! Amen! The other white meat. Yum.

When I was a kid up north, they were referred to as calico bass or just calicos, and some people called them tarpon, though I have no idea how that ever started.

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. yeah, never see it spelled before but had heard those La. folks say it.  Big crappies are called slabs, and I can pronounce that, spell it too. chuckle.

Caught many crappies in Texas this past winter.
Enjoyed them deep fried after breading, but also used a marinade mixture of soy sauce, lemon juice, and olive oil with a good shake of Slap ya mama. Then grill them in fish grillin' basket on the gas grill for some darn good eatin' as well. Where? lbj-buchannon-austin

I've got a big ass foam trucker cap I bought for a dime at a thrift store hanging over my workbench. It's got a picture of a crappie on it and says "Oakeechobee perch jerker". Think I payed a dime for it and had a laugh because it had a crappie on it and said perch jerker, never knew anyone called them perch. Of course growing up everyone I knew called bluegills, redears, and any other brightly colored sunfish perch. Never knew there were such things as yellow perch.

Crappie, pronounced croppy here.
Mostly see blue gills or sun perch. Although that is what a lot of people here call croppy.
