I take it you are referring to the Temperate Bass Morone Americana, commonly called White Perch but is not actually in the Perch family?
One thing to consider, however is that white perch fillets don't seem to have the same life time in the freezer as other pan fish. So try to use them in a month or so, or there taste does go down hill fast!
Looks like what we call yellow bass here in WI. Prep and cooking recommendations are spot on if so.
I've been following this with interest, well, just because. I Googled "white perch Wisconsin" and surprise, surprise, surprise.....Turns out where I live this is considered an invasive species. Catch one? Keep one and give it to the DNR but no keeping otherwise and a perpetual pox on you if you were to transport."Inland waters:DNR is interested in preventing the spread of white perch to Wisconsin's inland waters. DNR is concerned that anglers may mistake white perch for native white or yellow bass, and unknowingly release the invasive fish. If you believe you have caught a white perch on a Wisconsin water other than Lake Superior, Green Bay, Lake Michigan or a tributary stream, please contact your local DNR fisheries biologists. You may not keep more than one white perch for transport to a DNR office for identification. For help in distinguishing between these species, please see our Identification guide."Hmmm, most interesting.I'd say I'd litter the ice with specimens that meet the criteria but I don't live in Maine....
