Q. Why yellow perch? A. Yellow perch is one of the most popular of all North American pan fish. It has a mild,
sweet flavor with firm white flesh and low fat levels making it a favorite in residential and commercial kitchens alike. Not
to be confused with white perch or rock perch, yellow perch is usually only available a few months out of the year. Overfishing,
loss of habitat, pollution, and competition from invasive non-native species have reduced the commercial catch to less than
20 percent of its historic highs—an 80 percent reduction. |
Q: Isn’t yellow perch the fish typically
served at Friday night fish fries? Q: Is there a difference in taste between wild-caught and
farm-raised perch? Q: Does Bell Aquaculture fish contain any mercury? |
