Cuisine & Edibility
Black Crappie
Sweet, tender white flesh with fine flakes and very low fat; considered among the best-tasting panfish. Delicious pan-fried with light seasoning or battered and deep-fried.

Species Overview
Black Crappie
The black crappie is a popular panfish found throughout North American lakes and reservoirs. Known for its delicate, sweet-tasting flesh, it is most actively caught during spring spawning when it moves to shallow water near cover.
Red Drum
The red drum, or redfish, is an iconic inshore game fish of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Identified by the distinctive black spot at the base of its tail, it feeds by tipping head-down in shallow water, exposing its copper-colored tail.
