Perch is a type of fish that a really like because you can cook it in different ways and it’s alwalys great! The taste is delicate and is very soft so that you can fry, grill or cook it: every time is a success! Anyway the way I like best is cooked with tomato sauce, olives and capers. Do you want to know my secret? A pinch of chilli ;-)but don’t tell anyone!
