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.
I have a deep fryer that heats the oil to 375 degrees and I think it's accurate based on an external instant read thermometer. It seems to me that bluegill, perch and walleye fillets cook in about 2 minutes. Any longer and they get really dark on the outside. I use an egg wash and Italian cracker crumbs for breading.
