This is the perch I'm on about: Perca fluviatilis, European perch : fisheries, aquaculture, gamefish
Zander: Sander lucioperca, Pike-perch : fisheries, aquaculture, gamefish, aquarium
Walleye: Sander vitreus, Walleye : fisheries, aquaculture, gamefish, aquarium
and the european freshwater bream: Abramis brama, Freshwater bream : fisheries, aquaculture, gamefish, bait
The latter I'd say is inedible because it doesn't taste good and they have an unbelievable amount of tiny bones spread throughout the flesh. I've read in the olden days smallish ones were pickled which dissolves most of the fine bones.
I suspect your (freshwater) bream is called that because it looks very similar in shape to the sea bream. Hopefully it eats similar too! ;-)
Seems some call crappie's perch too. Miss the old crappie/bluegill fry-ups.

This is the perch I remember, looks somewhat similar. Our version of fish and chips every Friday.

We used to fish for crappie on Lake Murray in SC when I was a teenager. Good eating fish in the 1-3 pound range.
Bluegill I catch usually run near a pound, although the record is over 5 pounds.

How about the various bass you have in North America, are they good eating or mostly just good sport?
The two classifications of bass are Large Mouth and Small Mouth. Both are edible, but in my opinion don't taste as good as Bream, Crappie and Catfish.
I suspect most large bass are caught as sport fish since people have them stuffed and mounted.

The small mouth bass were prominent in Lake Erie until the mid-60's, then disappeared for a while (as did walleye). Back now. Perch were better tasting and could be easily caught on a little white lure with a feather.
Slurp it slow and the Yquem caucasian ho is cheaper than a 250 dollar hooker, plus one does not have to taste the latter.
It's probably more. During the lull of interest in desert wine in the 70's a local dealer bought an entire container full and sold the 1967 for $19.99 @.
In the 60's in the Sacramento Valley, small mouth bass, crappies, and perch were
variations of the same thing. Along with catfish and carp prevalent in the sloughs
and drainage canals.

'93 ChatteHo d'Y does €200-€250 at this end, whole bottle (single uptown white I inhale, don't even know why I like it so much, and my body can't handle red/heads)
Regular for daily lunch is Barefoot muscato, +quiche with spinach&ricotta today, much prefer it over Gallo's own muscato. Does 13 guilders on Curaçao, every super has it. I have to order it by the box in NL, plain Gallo everywhere.
(for g sake, just when did I turn so f boring)

You are right I don't have any idea of the vintages since 80's or so. Why is the label in EN/FR ?
Surely you must have heard of the French savoir de vivre French.
(if it ain't Dutch it ain't Much, but if it ain't French it must be British
)Curaçao carries the regular US bottle.
As of today, I've decided to place bt+food thread overlapping posts here only, btw. I have lousy taste, but at least it's mine.

The latter sounds very disgusting. I was just about to have lunch. I think I'll wait for dinner time, maybe I'll have an appetite by then. Curious play on words though.
