pike-perch
European game fish
A pike-perch is a freshwater fish combining features of pike and perch—an elongated body with a pike-like snout and perch-like dorsal fins.
The term covers several species, most notably the European zander and the North American walleye.
Pike-perch are prized as game fish and for their firm, mild-flavored flesh.
