RE: Are white perch worth eating?
I ice fish for yellow perch almost every day and often catch white perch. They are like a yellow perch on steroids. They are huge and fight like a bass especially on lite ice tackle. I like the 10" or smaller to fillet and fry up. I have fish frys all summer and those sized whites are what I go after. They are great. The ones I catch in the winter are often over 2 pounds and I don't usually eat them I sell them.
