I usually just cook them up in some garlic butter and a few dashes of lemon juice. Does anyone have a good perch recipe?

Hey Fred, I like to deep fry them in beer batter!

 

Perch fillets

flour

all in one pancake mix

beer or soda water

vegi oil, peanut oil or olive oil (not x-tra virgin)

 

*  clean fillets, pat dry

* roll in plain flour, shaking off excess

* mix pancake mix & liquid until it is thin enough to coat the fillets without having to much...

* dip fillet in this mixture, coating completely, and put into hot oil (350*) and cook until done, turning if necessary

* remove fish from oil and place on paper towel until cool enough to eat.  Enjoy!

 

You do not need eggs for this as the plain flour will help the pancake mix stick to the fish.

You can deep fry nearly anything and it will taste good. Your recipe sounds good to me turnip

The borrowed Sue-Be honey recipie I posted for walleye will work for perch. It's a bit lighter than a true beer batter, but quite tasty. When I go North with my buddies, I am the designated cook and this is the most requested way of cooking both perch and walleye. Tom

I just seen that post Tom. Sounds like a sweet recipe(as long as you dont add many spices). My kids usually dont like fish, but I will get them to try this. Thanks.

#1 dip the fillets in mixed egg

#2 fully cover them in in bread crums

#3 have a pan with oil

#4 heat the oil till hot

#5 put the fillets into the oil

#6 cook both sides intill golden and serve

Tom if you have that "borrowed" honey recipe I am really interested in trying it, I too have grandchildren and children who don't like fish (mental) and am willing to try about anything.... they gotta be mental --who doesn't like perch or walleye?????

That's a great recipie for almost any type panfish. Catfish Choir approved! ******

Are you the same Getdanet that posts on Foxlakefishing? The Sue Bee honey web site has many fish recipes that I want to try. It is worth the time to check it out. Tom
