Getting ready for "Browns-Steelers" matchup tomorrow. Did a little tailgating. I had about 8 pounds of Lake Erie Perch, so I had to modify your recipe slightly. Even the few Steelers fans that were at the party wanted the recipe. I turned them on to the website, even though most Steelers fans cannot read.

GREAT RECIPE. GO BROWNS!!!

I used half and half flour and cornmeal, added a dash of chili powder, garlic salt, and some dried parsley. Well actually, it was a group affair, and those were some suggestions we used. Had to limit it as to not ruin the taste of the perch.
