Yellow perch are fresh water types. Pile perch are salt water type. All
are bony but the yellows are tasty.

We did, thanks!

Caught 63 of them. They are in the cooler at the local fish cleaner
waiting
to be descaled and butterfly filleted. I will pick them up tomorrow.

Weather is predicted to be perfect........the perch are
biting..........heading out tomorrow! My wife is going out with me
so we
can fill the cooler with 80 of them (Ohio limit on Lake Erie is 40
perch/person/day).

Mmmmmmmmmmm..........yellow perch. ;-)




Aren't they bony?

The fish the little kids target from the floats in the local marinas
are "pile perch", and they may be different from your yellow perch- but
a pile perch seems like it's about 80% bones and maybe 20% meat.....
Too much work to cook and eat, for what little meat you get, (IMO)
