Hi everyone!
As some of you may know, I am a born and bred Oklahoman. Honestly, a little too Oklahoman. My family is in the oil, cattle, and land business. I have lived in most areas of Oklahoma, I go to OU, and I'm Cherokee (Happy Indigenous Peoples day btw).
As an Oklahoman, there are many foods that are very common here. Deer chili (with the beans), catfish, hush puppies, indian tacos, fry bread, fried okra, and my beloved fried crappie (we fry pretty much everything).
What is fried crappie you may ask? Well, crappie is a small freshwater fish in the south/midwest that is absolutely delicious. It's also pronounced kraa-pee. The best way to eat crappie is to fry it up. My favorite way is to put some on a tortilla, add fresh coleslaw, and squeeze a good amount of lemon juice on top.
The reason I am talking about this today is because I am craving some so damn bad.
The only way you can get crappie is to catch some yourself. I have looked online to buy fresh crappie fillets but it is very expensive to order. My dad was the one to always bring some home from his fishing days. He would gut, skin, and fry them in under an hour. But these days he doesn't fish anymore. I have been begging for months to go fishing with him so I could just have one mouthwatering crappie taco. Hopefully by next weekend I'll be eating my fill.
Do y'all have any favorite meals your family makes?
