I use spears, you can use any form or slices.
I wet coat with Taylor's One Step and fry, or dust with Taylor's and lightly (thin) batter and fry.
Dip of your choice or hoover as is.
What did you buy first @Extra Virgin the dill pickle fries,or a scoop of minnow’s??
Asking for a friend!!
lol 
How did you make out perch fishing,after you picked up a scoop of minnow’s? 
Fries came first of course! North shore was definitely more difficult the last few days after the storm we had. The perch were scattered but still there. Not enough to fill the freezer or give away, caught enough for a meal for the family each trip outWhat did you buy first @Extra Virgin the dill pickle fries,or a scoop of minnow’s??
I figured that much @Extra Virgin that the friesFries came first of course! North shore was definitely more difficult the last few days after the storm we had. The perch were scattered but still there. Not enough to fill the freezer or give away, caught enough for a meal for the family each trip out
came first!! 
I am thinking the same @Extra Virgin that the walleye’s & rainbow’s will be scattered as well,(like your perch fishing has been),when I plan on fishing Lake Erie or Lake Huron the next time. Tight lines my friend & not too many fries please!! They say that they are bad for us,and very fattening!!

WHAT? Fries are fattening? Say it ain't so
Bad for us? They say THAT about everything now. I'm old enough to remember the days when they were telling us, "eat a balanced diet that includes ALL 4 major food groups EVERY day." What are the 4 major food groups? Fruits and veggies. Grains. Dairy products, and proteins. If we followed what they're telling us today, we'd all die of starvation as it seems EVERYTHING we eat is now bad for us.
Don't eat this. Don't eat that....usually those things they're now telling us not to eat are things that 10-15 years ago they were strongly promoting and wanted us eating.....Now they're saying for example, don't eat red meat and cut the carbs out......THAT ain't gonna happen in my world for a couple reasons.
1) My dad was a butcher. I grew up on red meats, but also poultry, fish, and pork. Like everything else, moderation is the key...and I LIKE pasta and other high carb foods once in a while, but NOT every day. I've lost 30lbs since January of 2021, (not sure where I lost it but if you find it, you can keep it
) not because I changed my diet and cut things out of it, but because I ADDED more of a variety to it and the most important change I made was a simple one. When I feel full, I STOP eating. AND2) I grew up in the 70's and 80's, when all those things they now tell us NOT to do, were not only accepted, they were encouraged, they were fun, they were healthy and considered a normal thing to do, ie eating what was then that "healthy well balanced diet," riding a bike without a helmet, drinking out of the hose, throwing pointed lawn darts instead of the rounded ones they use today, riding in the back of a pickup truck, street lights coming on meant get yer butt home, and I was taught, sometimes the hard way, what respect and discipline were all about.
I suppose, depending on who you ask, all of what I just said, makes me OLD.

I found Friday on the pier that I caught more with the salties than I did with the live minnows I was able to catch. (it was a challenge Friday to get live minnows, I think I had maybe 15 or 20 minnows at most and it took a long time to get'em with a lot of sorting with all the shad and perch fry that I was catching.)
Glad you got into some perch today. I used salted, day old dead and live minnows... They all equally produced, it was just an off weekend out there due to mother nature.
My rule of thumb has been very simple Red. Even though I've got the dad bod gut, I'm not worried since i can still see my package.... And I've got plenty of hammer to not worry about eating fatty foodTight lines my friend & not too many
