Ocean perch

A type of rockfish found along the West Coast, which has a pinkish flesh that is mild flavored. Generally ocean perch are quite tender and can be used in any recipe that calls for a white fleshed fish. To check the fish for doneness, use the tip of a sharp knife and cut through the thickest part of the fillet. If the fish has been properly cooked, the meat will appear opaque but will still be moist.
