I soak my perch over night in milk and lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Then put a mix of 60% flour 30% bread crumbs 10% corn starch. I also season my mix with a little more salt/pepper. Fry in a skillet with canola oil till brown. I do it the same way with walleye. Tartar or cocktail sauce.
Wet the perch fillet with egg-water wash, dredge in flour seasoned with Lawry's and paprika, let it sit for 5 minutes so the flour sticks then fast fry in hot clarified butter.
dip in beer batter then roll in corn flake crumbs...deep fry for 1-2 min.
sounds good!
I actually just had walleye for dinner. I'll be out next week for perch. I remember this subject from last year. Somebody had the recipe for the sauce that the village pump on Kelly's island uses for their perch basket. Wish I had wrote it down. Maybe they will see this.
Perch easy. Dust with seasoned flour, next egg wash, then into panko crumbs, put on a cookie sheet. Most important let sit for a half hour to absorb. Deep-fry till golden brown . Great thing is when warmed up next day, taste as good as first cooked. I've even frozen left overs,and reheated weeks later.
Fried Perch is hard to beat but for something different from time to time I will make Perch Tacos. Just substitute Perch filets ( or any kind of mild whitefish) for your ground beef, add your favorite taco seasoning. Stuff your taco shell with your toppings, maybe some salsa or a dash of Hot Sauceto spice things up. Dig in!
How do you cook your perch for the tacos. Frying first tastes best obviously but messiest. Broiling ok but longer. To make just a quick lunch taco I’ve found I can just throw a couple of filets into the microwave. Quick and easy. Takes a little trial and error to get the right setting and cooking time
