Pan Fried Or Sauteed Yellow Perch Recipe
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 6 sm Yellow perch
- 7 x -9 " long
- 4 Tbsp. Bacon fat or possibly lard
- Â Â Salt and pepper
- 4 Tbsp. Butter
- Â Â Cornmeal
- 1 x Lemon (opt.)
Directions
- Dress, scale, and what the fish, pat dry, salt and pepper, then dredge them in the meal or possibly meal-flour combination.
- Heat the fat till it is warm sufficient to cook at once, but not burning, sputtering warm. Lay in the fish, turn heat down to barely a medium flame, and begin to brown the fish. Keep the fish loose from the pan bottom with a thin metal spatula.
- Taking 8-10 min to a side (turn heat low if it seems to fry too fast), brown the fish slowly till crisp. Don't overcook. When the flesh is opaque the fish is done; one hopes it's all browned by then.
- Add in 4 Tbs. butter to the skillet after removing the fish and squeeze in the juice of a lemon, stir the fat and juices to loosen the dredgings, and pour over the browned fish.
- VARIATION: After removing the fish from the skillet, toss about 1/3 c. of minced black walnuts. Brown lightly with the remaining butter and sprinkle over the fish before serving.
