Perch galore at Pelee

When we went to Point Pelee area, we decided to have Lake Erie perch any chance we can get. After all, where else can we get it as fresh?

1. At Leamington, we first tried out the Perch Platter at SeaCliffe Inn. It was nicely fried, crunchy on the outside and clean-tasting. It did lack a bit of flavour but at least we really got to taste the fish. 16 fillets for $25.

2. Located right across the marina on Pelee Island, we tried the Sampler Platter at Scudder’s Beach Bar and Grill. The perch was better than the one at SeaCliffe Inn but the girls liked the smelt more. We also enjoyed the curly fries. Service was fast and friendly!

3. On the way to Point Pelee National Park, Birdie’s Perch beat them all! The red double decker bus was hard to miss so while there were other perch places that we haven’t tried, we decided to check this one out. And it did not disappoint. It was by far the best among those we had in the area. The Perch cone of 3 pieces is a bit pricey at $13.50. It came with a ton of fries so it certainly filled us up.

On the next trip back, we will be sure to try the other perch places we saw along the way! Would be perfect along the wine trail for sure!
