Thank You "Gone Fishing"

Had perch dinner last night John and used your recipe. It sure was good. Sometimes I have leftovers for the next day but not today.

Good deal George! A friend told me to try cooking them that way and since I did, I've never cooked them any other way. We eat them at least once a week and nobody has even gotten tied of them. If anybody didn't see it, I"ll mention it again. Take a bowl and mix a couple eggs with a little milk and black pepper. I put the fillets in and let them soak for a few minutes. I take Kebbler (sp) Club Crackers and grind them up to a powder. I mix about 4 parts crackers with one part Progresso seasoned bread crumbs. Take the fillets out of the egg and milk mix and dip the in the cracker mix. I pan fry them in about ½ inch of oil in a large steel skillet. The crackers have salt and the oil starts to burn after 1 or 2 batches so you may need to change oil if you are cooking large amounts. If you like Tarter sause and Lemon, go for it. We like the Helman's Tarter sause but we skip the lemon. Good luck and enjoy! John

This should probably be posted in the recipe section but here's how I cook up those tasty yellowbellies.

The night before, I soak the fillets in whole milk.

I use Drake's batter mix but I use it dry.

Place Fillets in a large ziplock with the dry Drakes and shake.

1/4" hot (and I do mean hot!!!) oil... Olive, Corn or whatever you like.

A couple of minutes each side and voila... done.

Salt to taste and enjoy...

I like this method because the fillet's do not soak up the oil.

Give it a try... You'll be happy you did.;)

Try 1/2 pecans chopped very fine, mixed with seasoned bread crumbs, coarse peper and then fry in oil. Man it was great with walleye caught this weekend in the North channel. Only managed 3 in 2 trips. They were deep, 55-65 feet, just up from Deckers.

I copied this into the recipe forum. Post away guys, I'm getting hungry.
