Last time I came up fishing with reel sport, one of the guys on the boat with us told me to try a couple plain just cook em in sprite or 7-up. he called it poor mans lobster. I haven't tried it, when I do it will just be a couple to see what its like........

Hmmmm i find this one very interesting never heard of it has anyone else?

Would you just poach or boil it . eat it hot or cold

This sounds like a trip to the kitchen .

3 ways. Youngs w/ beer batter & oil, Andy's Cajun in oil, poach & let cool. Flake all bones out. Add mayo & mustard. Also add olives (green or black), celery, onions, jalapeņos, pepper rings (yellow- mild or hot) etc. keep chilled. Make sandwiches on boat. Yum yum

I like the Panko crumbs mixed with Andy's myself. Depends on if its a big fry or just for the Family though. My kids absolutely love perch, bluegill or thin sliced walleye with Drakes batter. It almost reminds me of the coating that you get a LJS.

Anyone try Shore lunch? Just rinse your fish, drain, shake it up in a bag and go. I really like the cajin, oridginal is good too.

We have been using it for years we mix the original and cajun together to make it less hot.

I like drakes. I mix 1 cup of drakes and 1 cup of flour.
Then put in some beer to the desired thickness.

Drakes beer batter and rolled in golden dip crumbs. Also dip fish in egg, coat with ritz and saltine cracker crumbs

Here's a new one...
Went to a friend's house for a walleye dinner, they fried it using crushed Frosted Flakes. It was GRRRRRRREAT! (no pun intended! ).
Fillets dunked in egg wash, rolled in the crushed Frosted Flakes then deep fry.

For ever I've followed this sequence in preparing Perch to fry.
1. Egg
2. Flour
3. crumbs or ?? similar

By just swapping 1 & 2, it made all the difference in the world! Hard to believe, but saw this sequence on a TV cooking program, tried it and voila !
1. FLOUR
2. Beaten Egg (dip in)
3. crumbs or whatever

Everything stays on the fillet, and turns out nice a brown - appealing!
