Method

Cooking the Perch

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading

    In a shallow dish, mix the flour, cornmeal, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.

  2. 2

    Breading the Perch

    Dip each perch fillet first in the egg mixture, then coat it with the flour-cornmeal mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

  3. 3

    Frying the Perch

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded perch fillets, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Making the Slaw

  1. 4

    Mixing the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and carrots.

  2. 5

    Preparing the Dressing

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

  3. 6

    Combining Slaw and Dressing

    Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Preparing the Fresh Cut Fries

  1. 7

    Cutting the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to form fries.

  2. 8

    Frying the Fries

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the cut potatoes in batches and fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt to taste.

Preparing the Bread

  1. 9

    Butter the Buns

    Spread butter on the inside of each bun or bread roll.

  2. 10

    Toasting the Bread

    In a skillet or on a grill, toast the buttered buns until golden brown.
