  • Crappie and Shrimp Fry in my WOK

    Digging through the freezer and came across a jackpot - Crappie and shrimp. Made me hungry, so that's what we had for lunch a couple weeks ago (forum was down...). I don't think I've ever shown off my Wok, so figured this would be a good time to do that as well. I know a lot of you have them (Woks), but maybe you'll get some ideas on some of the add-on's that I've built that help get the job done a little easier.

    Here's what we're up against.


    I like to use a beer batter, starting with a stong, hoppy beer. Using a local micro-brew which is damn tasty to drink as well.
    I soak the fish and shrimp in beer for maybe five minutes, then grab a handfull, let it drain, and into a Bisquick dry batter. I use straight Bisquick, and just season it up to my liking. Here's what I used today:


    Here's my Wok -


    Great thing about Wok's, they are shallow and don't use a lot of oil. I'm guessing I've got less than a quart in it today.
    Here it is with the first batch and the Add-on's, my shelf/coffee/crab boil rack (left), and my fish fry basket (right).



    First batch of of crappie and shrimp.


    I love the rack, just heated and bent a 1/2" piece of angle to fit the lip, used separated iron for the rack, and have added a back stop.

    Final take


    Close up of shelf/coffee/crab boil rack. Just have to swing the leg to put the burner under it.


    And here was my late lunch!



    Thanks for checking out my post. Hope I made you hungry for fish, and gave some good mod ideas for your Wok.

                Hey Walle,

                I absolutely love the Wok Idea. In fact, I'm so inspired by it, that I have started to a search to find a disk blade for a decent price...Last week I went to one of the local farm supply stores, and they were in the process of relocating so they had already shipped their heavier things out...dead end. I could buy one on the internet, but shipping would probably kill me for something heavy like that. I'll keep looking.

                Awesome looking fish and shrimp too!

                for the idea and inspiration.

                      Nice setup, Walle! Crappie is one of my favorites.
