To Thaw: Remove fillets from vacuum wrap. Place fillets in bowl of cool water until completely thawed or place in refrigerator for 24 hours until thawed.
Simple Preparation Instructions: For best taste and texture, pan fry the ocean perch fillets.
Pan Fry: Fry a single layer of fillets in a skillet with hot oil at 350°F until golden brown or until fish flakes easily. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain, and serve immediately.
Bake: Preheat oven to 425°F. Place fillet (skin-side down) in lightly oiled shallow baking dish. Season with salt, pepper and butter or margarine. Bake 6 to 10 minutes per inch of thickness of fillet until it is opaque throughout.
Broil: Preheat broiler. If desired, season fish with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Place pan containing fish 4 to 5 inches from heat and broil 6 to 10 minutes per inch of thickness of fillet. Test flaking at thickest part of fillet.
