Constance, it's not that I don't believe you... but a fish called crappy? I take it it's not good to eat...

Yes, there is a fish called crappy (pronounced croppy). Having never eaten one, I can't go any further. :rolleyes:

I love crappy. An area restaurant here fries it somewhat like catfish is fried. They do a fabulous job and it's a yummy meal.

When I lived in Minnesota, my grandfather used to fish for crappy. My grandmother pan-cooked the filets in a little butter, seasoned lightly with salt and pepper. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice and yum, yum, yum!

I cannot believe I accidently unsuscribed to this. How did I manage that? Thank you for telling me some wonderful things about southeren IL. We almost settled in Bardstown, KY as well. One thing I couldn't come up with at the moment: Our part of Illinois is real cheese country. I mean the good stuff. The basics are made around here, but people are getting more artisiinal and making some truly wonderful aged cheese. I live in the "tri-state-area", meaning that Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois are all within spitting distance. Great cheese, pork, and veal (where you have cheese, you have veal). Yummmmmmmy
