Follow spoontang's directions and they are excellent eating. Try scaling, gilling and gutting them, then making a few small slits on each side and rubbing them with your favorite rub ( I like Jamican Jerk) then grilling them over hot coals. A few cold brews, some rice and slaw and it's my favorite way to end a day on Lake Erie. With the abundance of perch and walleye we all here are spoiled and overlook other sporting (and fine eating) fish.
