Perch
A buddy of mine says that he keeps white perch and eats them, has anyone else done this? my whole life I have only kept Yellows but he swears that the white are good too. Any one have an opinion on this?

I've ate a few fresh and they were good, I've never froze them, some fish is ok fresh but not to good when frozen. I saw white perch for sale at giant eagle, whole fish with the head and guts removed for 5.99 a pound

My uncle and I saved them on saturday. His girlfriend is an asian woman and he freezes them whole straight from cooler. She prepares them somehow and he says they're pretty good. I don't see why they would taste a whole lot different than yellow. I myself prefer walleye over any fish.

Are the white perch in the same family as the yellow perch? I am under the impression that the white perch are a invasive species in Lake Erie.

They say the first thing to go is the mind and my mind failed me on the origin of the white perch. So I guess I had a Lol moment! Thanks for the link.
The other walleye name is yellow pike-perch and not yellow perch pike. Close but no cigar for me in this thread. I think I should just retire for the evening!Last edited by wakina; 05-27-2014 at 08:59 PM.
