That’s one fish I’ve never had- they say crappie are really good too, but I’ve not tried them either.
I used to love yellow perch or white perch- would sauté the eggs if there were any, and steam they perch filets. I used tO get bucketloads of them and got pretty good at fileting them. Steaming the filets gave them almost a shrimp-like flavor- everyone loved it that way.
There were leaves in the outhouse. We figured it out.
