Finally a Great Tasting Low Carb Breading for Fish .......

[Pappy]

I asked the Brethren for ideas for a low carb breading for some Crappie fillets. One of the guys "Dodis" said to use Pork Rinds. I was GREAT! I also used the Red Hot Pork Rinds. It didn't add any heat to the taste but it gave the breading a nice color. I didn't notice any pork rind taste.

Crappie fillets, dip in egg, roll in crushed Pork Rinds, pan fry in olive oil, salt & pepper, drain on paper towels.

You're going to love it.

1bag of pork rinds made enough breading for 3 pans of fillets.

I've been using this little trick to make a low-carb chicken parmigiana which can be served with spaghetti squash "pasta".

Even my kids will eat it! Who'da thunk??? :mrgreen:

I knew pork was the answer that is why I suggested bacon

Funny thing is, it isn't as different from bread crumbs as you might expect. It's more like a significant variation.

Thanks for the reminder. I need to back to a lower carb diet.

As far as breading goes, I've try alot of variations.
One of the better ones I like is kettle cooked salt and pepper potato chips,
ground med fine and I add a little extra pepper.

Ha! Yes, I'm betting that doesn't suck. One of the best potato dishes I ever had, made by my mother, was a casserole made with frozen hash browns, sour cream, some form of onion--and crushed corn flakes on top. It was exquisite.

This sounds good. I will have to give it a try.

Love using crushed pork rinds for breading. We make a crust for roasted chicken breasts with pork rinds and grated Parmesan cheese. I have not found anything that the pork rind breading does not work on.
