Lake perch dinners
 
Just got,back from the burger station located in the gas station in colony and got their lake perch dinner. Wow excellent . Tasted like the perch we had in Michigan . Catfish Johnnys has Alaskan sea perch but it doesn't have the taste,of lake perch. If you are craving lake perch,that you remember having up north then go to the Burger station. The only bad thing is that they are only open until 2:30 pm. :MOJE_whot::MOJE_whot:

Ahhhhhh, lake perch! I miss Lake Michigan's perch. How is it prepared?

delima2000 10-06-2015 07:00 PM
It was lightly breaded and deep fried. Just like you got on a Friday fish fry back home.

Is this a lunch or dinner and what sides come with it? I am a Wisconsin guy and miss the great Friday night frys at almost every local bar. Perch, frys , cole slaw, potato pancakes w/ applesauce:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

That sounds delicious. I make great cole slaw and potato pancakes. I like sour cream on top. How is the fish prepared?

At colony there is a gas station. Inside the gas station is some kind of fast food place. Is that where it is?

I hope it really is perch and not imported tilapia from China.

CFrance 10-06-2015 09:30 PM
Tilapia doesn't taste anything like lake perch.

I believe you are talking about the Blue Plate Deli inside the Shell Station at Colony. It's not fast food, but has great burgers and a huge Indiana Pork Tenderloin sandwich the Indiana owner is famous for..:mmmm:

coming back to TV in two weeks. Tonight going to an annual lake perch fry YUMMY

delima2000 10-07-2015 06:45 AM
Yes the blue plate deli is now called the Burger Station name change. This is real yellow lake perch. I know my perch since I grew up on perch back in Michigan. You get 5 pieces of perch,French fries,cole slaw and tarter sauce for $8.99.

Indiana Pork Tenderloin sandwich? What makes it unique? Is it the prep, the roll or the toppings?

Villager Joyce 10-07-2015 10:11 AM
I love that so many people go to tbe restaurant in a gas station. These are the people whose opinions I value. I can't wait to have tbe pork tenderloin.

jojo 10-07-2015 11:26 AM
We just had the perch. They said it comes from Lake Michigan. Tastes the same as Lake Erie perch that we are accustomed to. Thanks TOTV for alerting us.

I have no idea, guess it's an Indiana thing. The owner of the place could tell you.
