Perch,How small is too small?

[quote fishday]I'm with ya Wagdog. Last night I ate about 6 of those little suckers--no bigger than lLake Michigan smelt-- and it was a meal that was indeed 'slap yo mama' good. Not a bit of wasted meat and everyone can practice their filleting technique on cooked fish. Nary a bone if you do it right. I use egg wash and seasoned flour because it doesn't make a hard crust that is little more difficult to penetrate.
Can't let em go from the depth they came from so might as well enjoy.[/quote]

Sounds excellent. My old standby is cornmeal but I'm not picky. Flour, corn flour, breadcrumbs, cracker crumbs, tempura, beer batters...I love em all. My Dad always referred to the smaller fish as a sweet meat treat.[]
