Easy Recipes for Perch Fish
Carrolle asked me if I could find some easy recipes for perch fish - her husband goes fishing and sometimes brings it home.
So - I suggested the easiest thing to do was to clean it and barbecue it, but here's another alternative.
Perch with Parsley Sauce
Whole perch
olive oil for frying
1 pint (300ml) milk
cornflour/arrowroot to thicken
handful fresh chopped parsley
salt and pepper to taste
Clean and gut the fish - then dip into boiling water for 3 minutes - this will make it easy to scrape the scales away.
Scrape away the scales.
Heat the oil in a frying pan and lower the fish into it.
Fry each side about 5 minutes, depending on the size of the fish - when they're 'flaky' they're done.
Meanwhile, heat the milk in a pan and make up the cornflour/arrowroot as per the instructions.
I mix cornflour with a little of the measured milk.
Add the parsley just prior to the milk coming to the boil.
Remove the milk from the heat and stir in the cornflour (if you don't it goes immediately lumpy)
Return the mixture to the heat and stir until thickened - taste and adjust seasoning.
Serve the perch with potatoes and vegetables with the sauce poured over.
