Awesome Walleye Recipe


DTro

Recommended Posts

Had a couple walleyes in the fridge waiting to be eaten and I was digging around cupboards and thinking about trying something a little different than the usual shore lunch or beer batter.

Here's what I did, and it might have been the best meal of walleye I've had.

4-6 Fillets

1 stick of butter

Flour

2-3 Eggs

1 sleeve of Ritz Crackers (finely ground)

Garlic N Herb Seasoning

Chives

Melt butter in a glass baking dish and set aside.

Coat each fillet in flour, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally coat thoroughly in finely ground Ritz crackers.

Place coated fillets in glass dish/butter. Sprinkle with Garlic N Herb seasoning and chives. Cover dish with Tinfoil

Bake @ 350 for 25 minutes.

Yummy!

That sounds great. I know ground Ritz always makes a nice breading. It's nice to have baked fish sometimes instead of fried fish too. I'm going to give that a try.

A couple days ago, I made some walleyes by coating them in shore lunch, than dipping in an egg wash, than dipping them in a combanation of panko crumbs, minced almonds with a little cyan. I than deep fried them. They were great too.

I'm going to have to try the Ritz.

Tried Cheese crackers last week and didn't care for it. Used potato chips last night and the kids all said the fish tasted like french fries. I thought they tasted like Ruffles potato chips.

Well, it wasn't crunchy and actually ground up Ritz aren't as crunchy as you might think to begin with.

I guess you could reduce the amount of butter too. I just tossed a stick in there and winged it.

There was quite a bit still left in the dish (maybe 40%) so it's not like it soaked it all up either.

Maybe not some people's cup of Tea, but I really liked it.

Not only that, but I get tired of the oil smell in the house and wasting so much of it to use the deep fryer.

It does look good. I still can't pull away from the final Panko crust though as I love the crunch. Same recipe as Dtro posted except panko instead of ritz. And just a drizzle of melted butter over the fillets. Must be because I'm such a health freak. LOL

I do similar, but use fryin magic instead of flour for the first coating. Dip in egg/milk, then shake in zippie with Ritz. I always use the food processor to grind up the Ritz, perfect every time and only takes a minute to do a sleeve or 2.

I do suggest drying the fillets on paper towel before the initial coating, sticks much better and evenly.

I have resorted to only frying out on the workbench in the garage, using the 2 burner campstove. Just makes too much of a mess inside for the wifey to clean up grin

Yep, that is why I wanted to try baking in some butter instead. Works great and the house doesn't reak.

The Magic Bullet works great for making the Ritz coating. "As Seen on TV" grin When I'm done it turns out similar to graham cracker crust.

properly stored fresh fish can be stored in the fridge for a couple of days, however these meals should be planned and i usualy eat the fish the day i cought them or freeze them. also fish should never be frozen then thawed and then refroze again. good luck.
