In the south we fry everything!
Just curious about some new perch recipe's?
-
No kidding, but we love to steam them in the microwave.
In a glass bowl with a lid;
Layer some perch fillets in the bowl.
Add a bit of butter
A bit of garlic
Add some Old Bay seasoning
Cook at full power for a bit, maybe 1 min / 30 seconds...
Take a fork and flip/rescatter the fillets
Cook again until they whiten fully.
You may have to re-adjust your cook time to avoid over cooking them...
Serve over rice, or whatever way you please. Very easy way to cook them, a quick meal.

eggs flour crisco, eat :tup:

We do egg, cornflake crumbs, and deep fry. Also have done white meat fish with panko (and fresh herbs) on the stovetop, fry one side, flip and finish in the oven. This second might be better with thicker fish than perch so it doesn't overcook before the breading crisps up.
You could also use the deep fried strips to make fish tacos. Use corn tortillas (my fav) and cabbage with other taco fillings. This is a good way to make a small amount of fish go a long ways.

Family also likes them from the fry daddy; eggwash then some cajun cornmeal, then the fry daddy. Yum.

Sounds good.
Add it to the CookBook.

Perch fillets are just begging to be put in a taco...
Beer battered and fried fillets
Pico de gallo(red onion, tomato, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, pinch of salt)
Sprinkle of crumbled cotija cheese
Lime crema (sour cream, squeeze of lime and a little 1/2 & 1/2 to thin it out)
Stuffed in a double corn tortilla, lightly oiled and tossed in a pan (or on the grill) until soft
A little grind of sea salt on top

This is how we roll. I'm not much of a deep-fry guy but when it comes to perch and crappie, bust out the grease :EAT:

Perch and walleye both make excellent ceviche. I use this allrecepies recipe and sub the fish I have for the scallops. Only thing I do differently is to cube the fish filets into about 1/2" squares.

I like ceviche with 1/4 inch pieces better as it "cooks" faster and stays on a chip better. I've always worried a little about freshwater fish and parasites so I have only used ocean fish. I guess you could freeze it for a while which might kill any parasites in it.

How ironic this thread gets posted last night. I just happen to have had one of my big freezers go bad and was able to keep everything frozen until the new one arrived, except a few things. There were four large (4-5lb) bags of perch fillets that had thawed pretty good. Now, there are four of us having big fish fish fry's tonight. I'm doing the usual pan of beer battered perch and doing the rest in a cilantro/onion mixture for fish taco's topped with pico de gallo. Great timing actually, as perch season has just begun.

Good call!
A little tip from the southernor. Those that like to fry especially if you like to use cornmeal. Do a 50/50 cormeal flower mix with some Cajun seasoning...tony cacheries. The flower helps to coat better and helps the cormeal stick.

:yeah: Self rising cornmeal works great, it can be hard to find up here in the nw I have it mailed from fam in georgia along with other southern favorites like castleberry's hot dog chili. :drool:

Zatarans. All their products are a staple in my house!

For something different, try using instant mashed potato flakes as your coating. Not the grainy ones, but the flaky ones. I season the perch with Johnnys, black pepper and cayenne, dip in egg and then the potato flakes and fry until golden brown. Very tasty.

Louisiana fish fry mix, cut with 50% yellow cornmeal. Add some cayenne. Fry, dip in tartar. Cant beat it
