Light, crispy and oh so good!!
One little fish would cause such a stir.
The last ten days we have offered fresh yellow perch. We went through 150 pounds and could have gone through more. Friday we went through 40 pounds! I had to find out why.
Lisa and I seldom sit down and eat in our own restaurant. We find it rather difficult to just sit there and not want to get up and help out a guest, or point our to a staff member something that needs attention. It is a curse, trust me.
We planned to work in case of another busy night. The staff had everything undercontrol so we decided to eat dinner. Specifically I wanted to try the perch.
I can’t imagine fried anything would be very good after a 20 miute ride home sowe opted to eat in.
I may be a bit biased so forgive me. The perch dinner was incredible! A lightly seasoned cornmeal crust ensconsed tender, moist perch with crispy perfection. Neither too think or thin it added to the overall flavor. It didn’t dominate and served to keep the perch firm enough to dip into the tartar sauce without breaking. The house made chips were perfectly seasoned and crisp. The cole slaw was tangy, slightly acidic cut through the the mayo in the tartar sauce to balance the meal perfectly. It was so good I didn’t pay much attention to what was going on, I just enjoyed my meal.
We often taste components of a meal or featured item but we don’t often enjoy as a complete meal. Now I know what the fuss was about. Next year 200 pounds!!
