Gut the fish and remove scales. Be careful not to get hurt! Perch has very sharp fins and hard scales. I usually use a special device to clean this fish. Rinse the carcasses under running cold water and dry with paper towels.

Sprinkle the perch on all sides with your favorite spices, ground pepper and salt. Using massaging movements, distribute the spices evenly over the surface of the fish.
