Actually the true name is Black or White Crappie Bass. Down in the south we call them specks. Generaaly this fish has a very mushy texture when you fillet them. I just caught a nice mess of them last week. Our local fish from the lakes don't taste so hot but today when I fixed them like this...my familywent bananas over them.
Soak the fillets all day in a quart of buttermilk.
In a cast iron skillet heat about 1/2 inch of oil on med high.
In a large bowl mix flour , salt and pepper to taste.
Flour the fillets liberally and carefully put in hot oil.
Cook until golden brown.
Drain on paper towel
These fillets are now as firm as trout and taste like red fish.
5 STAR AWESOMELY GOOD
I give most fish the buttermilk soak before cooking.

It's incredible what it does to the fish. I'm having neighbors coming over tomorrow to share a big batch I caught today. With buttermilk it's one of my prize meals. I know they will be shocked with the taste. Nice texture and nice mild taste.
