   Prepare the batter. Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add salt and sugar. Whisk until smooth. Add sour cream and milk to the egg mixture. Gradually start adding flour, mixing thoroughly after each addition. The batter should be thick enough to adhere well to the fish pieces.

   Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. Dip each piece of fish into the batter, ensuring the flour mixture coats the pike perch completely. Immediately after battering, place the pike perch pieces into the hot oil and fry over medium heat until golden brown. It will take about 3 minutes per side.

   TipDo not make the heat too high, so the fish has time to cook through inside.
