fried perch
Pan-seared lake catch
Fried perch is perch—a freshwater fish with firm, mild white flesh—that has been coated and cooked in hot oil.
It's a staple of fish fries in the American Midwest and Great Lakes region, typically breaded or battered and served with coleslaw and tartar sauce: We stopped at a supper club for the Friday night fried perch.
