As long as the butter is clarified.  If you use raw butter, it will burn.

It's been years since I've had freshly-cooked Yellow Perch.  The country club I just returned to still does both a "floured" and a "battered" version.  The floured variety is seasoned flour, then sauteed.  I'm not sure if they do an flour-egg wash-flour breading, or just dust the fish in the seasoned flour and go.  The battered variety is a beer batter.  Remember, when it comes to beer batter, the darker the beer, the better the flavor.  However, Yellow Perch may not stand up to a strong beer batter.  You'll have to do some experimenting.  Start with a medium beer, like Shiner Bock.  If that's too strong, go to a weaker beer.

Definitely keep the Lemon and Tabasco.  Try to find yourself some Dale's Seasoning Sauce.  Dribble that on the fish after cooking.  Be advised you'll have to cap the bottle with your thumb, and release it slowly to get the proper "dribble" rate of flow :)
