This is how I typically clean and cook pan fish such as bluegill, crappie, as well as salt water fish like spot and crooker. If I have a large number to cook at a time, I use my dutch oven and deep fry them. They turn out good every time. You can use any flower that you have on hand or cornmeal. Add what ever spices you wish, but you really don’t need anything more than a little salt and pepper.
