I've never cleaned a or cooked a fish before.  I want to catch some Crappie this year and try to clean them and cook them up for the first time.  I was at Gander Mountain a few days ago and they had a fish cleaning DVD but I didn't want to spend $14.00 for it.   I was wondering if any of you had any good DVDs or know of some good online videos that show how to clean a crappie and cook it up?  

 

 Thanks!

I'd check YouTube. Almost anything you need to know can typically be found there.

You Tube, You Tube, and You Tube.  Field & Stream's website also has recipes I believe, and the Indiana DNR has this recipe book online.

Just Google Crappie/Panfish recipes (or catfish, bass, trout, etc) and you will find everything you want.  No reason to buy a DVD anymore!!!

Fixed it for you

YouTube.

Crappie are filleted the same way as bass & bluegill

Yeah. Youtube.

Do a YouTube search for Thundermist Lures they have several vids on cleaning fish and general fun fishing stuff to watch IMHO. I really really want to try a few of their lures as well. Good luck and happy fishing.
