This is one of my favorite ways to prepare perch. Taco seasoning and cornmeal make the coating zesty and unique.

Ingredients

1 envelope taco seasoning
1 pound lake perch fillets
1 egg
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons canola oil

Directions

Place taco seasoning in a large resealable bag; add perch fillets, one at a time, and shake to coat. In a shallow bowl, lightly beat the egg. Combine cornmeal and flour in another shallow bowl. Dip fillets in egg, then coat with cornmeal mixture. Place in a single layer on a plate; refrigerate for 15 minutes.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry fillets for 2-3 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
