European Perch - 11 pounds

We ordered the European Perch. It was just as described by Walley Direct. This was our second order from them. It is a little pricey, but well worth it. You won't be disappointed. We will definitely order from them again.

I grew up on Lake Erie and have been "hooked" on yellow perch for almost 80 years so nothing will ever take their place. But these are close and a lot less expensive.

Very good perch. Only made one batch so far.

Nice filets, Tasty! Highly recommend.

I have ordered the regular perch several times in the past, so was a little hesitant about trying the European perch. I was very pleased with the size of each fillet and the flavor did not disappoint. I breaded each fillet using Fry Magic and cooked them in peanut oil. We had a family "fish fry" and the 60 fillets I cooked were eaten. I highly recommend.

Not happy with these fillets. Although they are very clean and filleted well, there is barely any meat on them at all. After you cook them, they are a little smaller than a Vienna Sausage. Not much of a meal, and not easy to fry. I won’t purchase them again.

The European perch arrived fully frozen as other fish I have ordered from Walleye Direct. I was disappointed with the taste of lack of. Raised near the Lake Erie, I was expecting the sweet perch taste. It was okay and will continue to serve it until it's gone.

Terrible flavor. Tasted old. Tried one meal. Tossed rest of order

Did not know what to expect from European perch it was a good Christmas surprise.

Big thanks for getting these due to the yellow perch shortage. The processing and quality of the fish is real good. Skin is a lighter in color which seems to be the only physical difference. It is missing some of that sweet perchy taste though. If you give it a dip in your favorite tarter sauce, you probably wouldn't notice a difference.

Product quality is excellent! Customer service, packaging, and shipping all as promised.

I was amazed at the quality and freshness of the perch. Compliments to the company.

We purchased this to try to replicate a traditional local dish (filets de perche meunière) from the Lake Geneva area of Switzerland, which I have been craving since we came to the States. These filets are slightly larger than what we are used to, but the quality and taste are perfect. A note on delivery for anyone in the same situation: As we live in the California desert and ordered in summer when temperatures were easily 110+, we went ahead and paid for the 2nd day delivery, which was definitely worth it. The fish arrived still completely frozen but the dry ice had evaporated so I doubt it would have survived the 3rd day for free ground delivery unless you're planning on using all 11 pounds same day.

The perch came in a properly packaged box with dry ice and there were no issues during transit. The fish itself tasted amazing and we would absolutely recommend this product.

Better if it was vacuum packed, last longer, easier to thaw.
