So, whoever you are that posted that information, THANK YOU! I will always have a cooler with ice from now on...


What I like to do with our yellow perch is place them in a bucket then put a bag or two of ice on top of them. Leave them in that bucket for about an hour or hour and a half then clean them up.

Its like hanging your beef and it gets all the blood out of the meat. Much flakier and gives the meat a less sticky texture.

I like to place the fillets in cool salt water after in the fridge too before cooking. Pat dry before your egg/batter dip.

Cheers Don.
