This Chinese lemon crappie is a fun spin on Chinese-American takeout lemon chicken. The crappies get fried whole, then doused in a sweet and sour lemon sauce made from freshly squeezed lemons.This technique would work for any small fish. Try it with perch, small bass, rock bass, rock fish, sunfish, etc. You can also do it with just the fillets if you’d rather not tuck into a whole fish. Simply reduce the cooking time to 3 minutes per side. I made this recipe for 2, but there was leftover sauce enough for 2 more servings. If you’d like to make it for 4 people, add 2 more fish and increase the amount of eggs and flour. Use this guide to prepare the crappie for cooking in this manner. These fish were caught through the ice and tasted fantastic!
