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.
Dip each fillet into the flour mixture, then the egg mixture and then the crumbs, coating each side of the fillet completely during each of these 3 steps. Heat a fry pan to medium high. Melt the 1/2 cup butter. Place a coated fillet in the hot pan and cook until golden brown (approx. 3 minutes per side). Flip fillet to cook the second side. Remove fillet and drain on a paper towel before serving. Fry remaining fillets, adding butter to the pan between fillets if necessary. When all the fillets are cooked, add 4 tbsp. of butter to the hot fry pan and squeeze in the juice of 1 lemon. Stir the butter and juice to loosen the brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Plate the browned perch fillets and pour the hot sauce over them.
