I first fished for them in Louisiana, the guy who showed me called them Crappy, not Croppy, here my uncle kept correcting me, so now I go with the Croppy like everyone else here in California seems to call them.
Anyone else call them Crappy?

Crappie is a very tasty little fish,… well sometimes they’re not so little … like when they become Slabs pushing 3/5 lbs…..
Anyways I’ve eaten them several different ways … the best for me was steamed Asian style…. the flavour is ver nice and the texture is so delicate… it’s the bomb..!
If you have never eaten fish this style,.. you’re surely missing out…

Lots of folks here in South Mississippi call them white perch, except for those who moved here from Louisiana. To them, of course, they are sacalait.

The ones called slabs are large Crappie because of their width.

Crappie or croppie have many many names like Sac Au Lait, Strawberry perch, Lamplighters, Speckled perch etc.. It doesn’t matter what they are called, they are well sought after and delicious tablefare.
Amen to that!

Thanks JK.... didn't know that. I only know that many anglers that fish for them are as dedicated as LM anglers.

I don't care what you call them as long as you call me to come to dinner
