I was given a recipe this summer and have not used it on perch( have used with walleye, redfish and shark) it is now my absolute favorite.
The very simple recipe goes like this;
1 bottle Franks Red Hot
1 large zip lock bag
1 pack Hidden Valley Ranch
And a dry breading of your choice( I use cracker meal and flour)
Cut fillets into bite size pieces, place into bag, put enough Franks in to completely coat the fish. Marinate for 15 min to 3 hours(longer time gives more hot sauce flavour).
Mix the Ranch in with the breading and coat fillets, then deep fry.
This is a definite 2 thumbs up meal.
