Product Description
•••••
Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) Skin on European Perch Fillets - 11 pounds.
This is a species that is very similar to the North American yellow perch, but caught in Europe. It is almost the same in taste and in fact a lot of restaurants in the midwest serve it as perch and don't mention.
We are only selling this year because we can't get any North American perch. They have had several poor hatches in a row, while walleye had good hatches and they have been eating the perch. And the labor shortages have contributed as well as the producers have shifted to bigger fish with less labor required to fillet.
So for now, this is all that we have -- but the price is lower.

European Perch - my first experience
Bob
Location: Blowing Rock, NC
Date: October 5, 2022
Being a yellow perch fanatic I was somewhat apprehensive about trying the European Perch. But, I went ahead and ordered 11 pounds (all in or all out kind of thing). The perch arrived properly boxed, iced and on time. First I opened the box and portioned out 11 pounds of perch into 11 difference freezer baggies. Then, I had my first meal of European Perch. LOVED IT!! I was so pleasantly surprised by the size of the fish and the taste. They taste as good as Lake Erie Perch. I will order more of these fish, cook them, and sit down to tasty meals. My wife could not tell the difference between these perch and yellow perch. So happy I decided to order them. I highly recommend them to all perch lovers. (THIS IS NOT A PAID COMMERCIAL - JUST MY HONEST OPINION). THANK YOU.

They are the same as North American Lake Perch. I would buy them again.

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.

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.

Small Fillets

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.

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.

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.
