Alpine Perch Filets in White Wine (Eglifilets in Weisswein)

Switzerland is an angler’s paradise, owing to its large variety of fish from the clean lakes, brooks, rivers, and mountain streams. Lakes and brooks in the Alps are classic waters, and whoever is after big fish will find trout, carp and perch, pike in the Rhone. I got this recipe in Culinaria European Specialties.
