Baked Northern Recipe?

[bikeoutback]

Caught one Northern early yesterday and thinking I'd have more to clean kept it, didn't catch anymore worth keeping after that so I have one single Northern now. It's still outside frozen, I'm thinking rather than fillet it out I'd try cutting the head off, gutting it and then stuff it and bake it. Buddy of mine in WI does this but I can't get ahold of him to get recipe. Anybody got a simple recipe on stuffing a Northern and baking it or done this before? Going to cook it tomorrow night as a side dish to some steaks and potatos.

Steaks.

Baked Potato.

Baked Northern with whatever I stuff it with.

Vikes vs. Bears.

About as good as a Monday could get I'd say!

I tried a recipe I got from my Aunt. The fish was really good and the stuffing I think I need to adjust a little bit but it was still good.

It looks great! How was the recipe? and what would you change? I'm always looking for a good meal idea!

Did you get the Y-Bones out? Or did you have to fight with them?

[bikeoutback]

I'll get the recipe up tomorrow hopefully, won't have time tonight and don't have it with me.

Did have to deal with the Y bones. Did find that if peel back the top skin and pull the meat towards the opening it left a good majority of the Y bones there. The top or back meat had bones to deal with. Once the top side was eaten we pulled the whole bone structure out leaving the bottom with a good majority of the bones out also. But yeah had to deal with them still unfortunatly but was easier than other ways I've had Northern except maybe pickeled.

This is absolutly delicious. Might be able to use the stovetop in the pike as well.

Baked Walleye with Turkey Stuffing

• Get a big piece of heavy-duty tin foil and smear butter in the middle of the foil and then shake poultry seasoning, salt and pepper onto the butter.

• Put one Walleye fillet down on the butter.

• Cover the fillet with Stove Top Stuffing that is already prepared. Use the regular stuffing for Turkey or Chicken.

• Then put the second Walleye fillet on the stuffing and roll it all up in the tin foil.

• Wrap up the foil and cook for 8 minutes on each side on medium heat.

(BBQ at 450 for the noted time, bake in oven at 425 for about 12 minutes on each side. Will vary with thickness of fillet.)
