Was just broiling my walleye from the other day for dinner. My wife says she LOVES the broiled perch I make but won't eat the walleye. Says it tastes way too much different. Tried to explain that walleye and perch are in the same "family" and taste pretty much identical. She wasn't buying it. ??? :-\
-
just walleye and perch for dinner last nite,tonite its venison,anyway my wife daughter and myself think walleye is better but both are excellent.and there is a similar texture but the taste is a little different
-
YOU married her!!!!
-
I'll eat all the Walleye that she wont ... ;D
-
I personally prefer stripes over eyes on the table, but the wife & boys will eat anything that swims including pickerel & pike. Only thing they won't mess with is catfish
-
None of the past three wifes never liked any fish regardless of what 'family' they were from, LOL! I love both, but nice big walleye cheeks fried in some butter are the best!
-
I'm eating both tonight, I'll let you know ;D.
-
I love them both.i have to say that all perch i have eaten is good but i have had gross walleyes.irondequoit bay oswego or any great lakes water or sratoga lake midsummer...yuk no matter how small...the mohawk or the tommy are just as good as the perch
-
Give them some deboned pike and they'll never want perch or eye again.
-
Beer batter and hot peanut oil, you can not tell the diff.
-
I love both..the "filet mignon" of fish in my opinion! :tipup:
-
You guys are making me hungry.... ;D I'm just about to grind up some pike and pickerel and make homemade fishsticks .... lets see if the family notices the difference ...
-
I conducted a little experiment one time, had a fish fry party, one guy in particular always said perch are far better than eyes..and that he could tell the difference between them any day of the week, ,, well i cut some walleye fillets in half and breaded them up long before he got there... 5 beers into it i asked how the fish was, Awesome!! He says... Perch are always the best... Then i told him they were walleye...
-
I perfer the waldos myself ;) Perch are my 2nd choice
-
Perch over walleye at my house too, I don't even bother keeping walleyes anymore.
-
I have to give the thumbs up to Perch 1st.. :thumbsup:
-
i would rather have walleye
-
You can't go wrong with either. If she eats any fried try cutting both in strips before breaking/frying and she won't know the difference.
-
My daughter and I had perch and eyes for dinner tonite! She liked the perch better and really they were. BUT the eyes were excellant also and more for me. :thumbsup:
-
I had my wife try both, she could not tell the difference. either one works fine for me, but the walleye are much less work on the fillet!!
-
thats a tough one, hmmmm, perch i think. gonna have both this weekend for superbowl. I will get back to ya on this one..... ;D
-
cmon now ...its like comparing cuts of beef!
porterhouse, tbone, prime rib, ribeyes, etc....
I would not complain nor compare when either or both are sitting in front of me! ;D
-
Either way lovem both
-
perch by far
-
Give them some deboned pike and they'll never want perch or eye again.
I agree ;D
-
my two favorite to eyes and perch , but the edge goes to perch
-
To me no difference other than quantity of meat from the fish and perch seem a little firmer to me. Both are aces on the plate.
-
I like perch a lot but think walleye is better
-

Pike is good and equal to a full eye filet. Perch are hands down the best. Eyes double fileted is 2 then pike crappie and sunny all in together
-
Perch...cause I can get more of them :P
-
I cook a lot of fish in the summer for my friends and extended family. I always ask what they like best with out telling them which is which. They usually get ranked perch sunnies then walleye. Although all are loved and devoured. I will take perch over everything from catching to cleaning to eating.
-
Perch for sure tuna then gobies
-
Perch are #1 in my book. But eyes are a close second!
-
I'm trying to understand how this is a problem....??? Just means more eyes for you!!! Wish my wife was like that.
-
Had my perch yesterday. Perch is good. :)
-
As Frank Perdue says you are what you eat and if you get a walleye that has been feeding on gizzard shad they will have a more pronounced red line under the skin and will taste a little strong. I've talked to guys who have taken some nice eyes from Ibay and won't keep them any more for eating.
-
perch for sure
-
PERCH ;)
