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".
