You might be right. I’m sad right now because one of my favorite restaurants closed down last month. They had a great wall-eye and american fries fish dinner. Love that wall-eye.
Yeah! Wall-eye is really just a super-sized perch. I've been in England, Cleveland, M'waukee, fished Wisconsin River from Eagle River to Rhinelander (not a bite); lived on Cayuga Lake NY) where bass were dying of old age (smile); stuffed myself with bluegill, perch, and bass filets there for a few years; had sashimi in Tokyo & Burbank; swordfish steak at Allen's Clamhouse in Westport CT (gone now); Shark steak in La Jolla; salmon in Coleraine Ireland; etc.
Wall-eye (= yellow pike on the menu) -- the best!
Dutch raw herring -- ugh!
