pikeperch
European game fish
A pikeperch is a freshwater fish combining features of pike and perch—an elongated body with sharp teeth like a pike, but the spiny dorsal fin of a perch.
The European zander is the most familiar species.
Pikeperch are prized as game fish and for their firm, mild-flavored flesh.
