Bachelor dinner #3

[DBWallis]

No smoke, no grilling...

My wife is out of town on business, so it's my chance to cook foods she doesn't normally like.

Tonight was pan fried lake perch, buttery grits and spinach:

Not much more to say than, "nailed it!"

Looks Great David

 

[Cliff Bartlett]

Another super cook David! Let me guess, you ate all five pieces.

 

[Rich Dahl]

Haven't had perch since I left Chicago in the sixties, did you catch them yourself? Looks like a great meal.

 

[Barb D]

Awesome looking dinner never had perch but that looks good.

 

[jfortson]

Grits in Chicago???

Thought that was a southern thing.

Looks great wherever it is.

 

[CaseT]

I did not catch these myself, they came from the seafood counter at the local grocery store.

However, I grew up in Michigan, where as kids we could literally walk from one lake to another. Perch and bluegill caught and cooked the same day was pretty much the norm. I miss those days, but I still love fresh-water fish!

These were dipped in milk and rolled in a 2:1 mixture of cornmeal and flour, and sauteed in a little butter.

I ate 5 and saved another five for another night

These were pretty small... those 5 fillets weighed in at about 6 ounces.
