Pan-fried yellow perch fillets, lightly battered or simply floured; the Lake Erie summer-and-fall staple of Friday fish fries and white-tablecloth seafood rooms.
Lake Erie's central basin produces the bulk of US-caught yellow perch, in season April through November. Pier W in Lakewood has run them since 1965, and parish Lenten Friday fries from Slavic Village to Parma have built the modern Cleveland fish-fry tradition. Modern fine-dining rooms like Edwins Leadership and Restaurant in Shaker Square and Beach Club Bistro source from the same Sandusky fleet that supplies the parish kitchens.
