Where does perch originate?
True Yellow Perch (perca flavescens) originated in many areas of the Northern Hemisphere, especially in the Great Lakes region of the United States. That said, no fish name is more misused on restaurant menus than "perch". If in a restaurant, you see the word "perch" on a menu, and it is clarified as "Ocean Perch", "Rock Perch", "New England Perch", or "White Perch", it is a different, and almost invariably, inferior fish. Look for "Lake Perch", or "Yellow Lake Perch". That's the "Real McCoy".
What is the common class name for a perch?
The true perch is perca flavescens, and is indigenous to the Great Lakes watershed, most of the northern tier of states and up to central Canada.

That said, "perch" is one of the most misused terms in the restaurant industry, being used to describe half a dozen different fresh and salt water fishes, some of them not remotely like Yellow perch in flavor or quality.
