Pikeperch
Pikeperch are so named because they resemble the pike with their elongated body and head, and the perch with their spiny dorsal fin but they are not a pike and perch hybrid. They thrive in water with rather low visibility by "listening" to the water, and are very active at night.
Pikeperch are a close relative of the walleye, which is common in the US and Canada. Their meat has a small flake and delicate texture with a mild, sweet taste. Try some of our sustainable pikeperch recipes below!
