A yellow perch is characterized by its elongated, oval body and distinctive yellow to golden coloration. It features vertical black stripes running along its sides, which can vary in prominence. The fish has a spiny dorsal fin, and its belly is typically a lighter hue. Adult yellow perch generally grow to about 6 to 12 inches in length, though some can reach up to 15 inches.

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".
