Dad's Fried Crappie image

My dad has been frying fish in this batter since at least the 1970's. The breading is somewhat sweet. We think it's important to use 7-up and Aunt Jemima pancake mix. A biscuit mix does not work!

This recipe is a keeper! The crappie was flaky and moist, and the coating was crispy and flavorful. I served it with mashed potatoes and green beans, and it was a hit with my family.
