Fried perch is a popular dish known for its crispy coating and tender, flaky white fish. Typically, perch fillets are lightly seasoned, dipped in a batter or breading, and fried until golden brown. This preparation is common in American Midwest cuisine, particularly in regions around the Great Lakes, where perch is a local favorite. Perch is a lean source of protein, providing essential nutrients such as vitamin B12, omega-3 fatty acids, and selenium. However, frying increases the fat and calorie content, especially when cooked with oils high in saturated fats. To retain its nutritional benefits, baked or grilled alternatives may be preferable. Enjoyed in fish fries, sandwiches, or alongside fresh vegetables, fried perch remains a delicious choice, but moderation is key for a balanced diet.
