MSP Fish Fry: perch or blue gill?

A group of Wisconsin natives are getting together for a Friday fish fry soon. Does anyone know a place in MSP where we can get perch or blue gill? If not, we'll probably head to the Glockenspiel.
I did a search, but couldn't find anything about perch fish frys.

      They are not very good.

      I highly recommend country fried catfish fiddlers, if you can find em!

        I had the fish fry at Red Stag recently, and I would highly recommend it. I know the place has gotten some uneven reviews here, but everyone I went with was impressed.

        When I went they had blue gill, perch and catfish for the traditional fish fry, and whole trout was another option. I sampled the first 3 (got the catfish as my meal) and they were all very good.

          We finally got to the Red Stag, had the double perch and the double blue gill. My husband was in heaven!

          Their coleslaw was the best I have ever had. I wonder what the secret ingredients are...

            Excellent. I've been meaning to go back to Red Stag with my parents. They're anxious to try it.
