Step 2. Clear all vegetation from the area being seeded in late winter or early spring. Apply the pre-emergent herbicide to the soil in late March or early April. The herbicide must be applied prior to sowing grass seed as it can inhibit seed germination and growth.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place perch in greased baking pan, skin side down. (I use an 8x11 glass pan.) Pour milk over fish making sure to moisten it all. Sprinkle bread crumbs on, salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle butter on fish, then bake for 20 minutes. Yield: about 8 to 9 fillets.
Cook fillets for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side, until they're lightly golden and beginning to turn from translucent to white. Whole small perch will take longer, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Turn the perch or fillets, and cook for approximately the same length of time on the second side. The thickest part of the fillet should just be turning white if you pull the fillet apart with the tip of your knife.
