Best Walleye Recipes, Deep fry, Pan Fried, Baked, Microwave...etc,


Recommended Posts

1. put filets in plastic bag and "dust" with shorelunch or a flour/garlic powder/salt mixture you make yourself.

2. dip in egg

3. roll in crushed saltines.

4. fry in hot oil using tongs not a spatula to flip

5. after frying put on cookie cooling rack or some rack that allows air to flow with paper towels underneath. This is a huge key no matter what recipe you use, don't just throw on paper towel line plate. Keeps them crisp and they stay hot for a long time if you're making multiple batches.

Our favorite so far is to coat the fish like mentioned above, but instead of saltines we use plain panko crumbs - they fry crisp and don't hold oil/grease. We've also used potato buds and also crushed unsweetened corn flakes. Both of those are really good, too.

Top handle the issue of keeping crisp, we usually put the fried fillets onto a baker rack that sits on top of a cookie sheet and keep them in a 300 degree oven till the rest are done. Any remaining grease/oil drips off into the cookie sheet and the bottom stays crisp.

Here's another one that is REALLY good, but a bit more involved. If you have the time and want something different, try this. It's from the Gunflint Lodge:

Crispy Beer-Battered Walleye with Mango Sweet-and-Sour Sauce

This is one of (Ron) Berg's (executive chef at Gunflint Lodge) favorite ways of serving Walleye, and is very popular at the Lodge. There will be extra batter with this recipe.

Ingredients

Flour for dredging walleye before battering

Six 8- to 10-ounce boneless, skinless walleye salmon fillets, whole or cut into finger-sized strips

Oil for deep frying

Sweet and sour sauce:

1 cup sugar

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1-1/2 cup rice-wine vinegar

2 teaspoons chili paste with garlic

2 Tablespoons Asian fish sauce

2 Tablespoons cornstarch and 4 Tablespoons water mixed together

Garnish:

1/2 red pepper, finely diced (or a combination of colored sweet peppers)

4 green onions, green part only, finely sliced on the diagonal

1/2 mango, cut into 1/4-inch dice (other fruits such as fresh peaches, raspberries, wild blueberries, strawberries, or a combination of fruits may be substituted)

Beer batter:

2-1/2 cups flour

3 Tablespoons paprika

2 Tablespoons kosher salt

1 Tablespoon black pepper

Two to three 12-ounce cans of beer

Sweet and sour sauce: Combine sugar, garlic, rice-wine vinegar, chili paste, and fish sauce in a heavy-bottom saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes until reduced and flavor is developed. Add cornstarch mixture and continue to cook until thickened. Put through sieve, prepare garnishes, and refrigerate until needed.

Beer batter: Whisk flour, paprika, salt, and pepper together until well combined. Whisk in beer to make a thin batter, not much thicker than buttermilk or heavy cream. Dredge walleye in flour and shake off excess. Dip into beer batter and deep fry in oil at 360 degrees until golden brown and crisp. Remove and drain. (Note: it is very important to hold the heat level during cooking. Using a heavy-weight frying pan will help keep the oil temperature from dropping after the fish is first put in the oil.)

Cover the bottom of 6 heated plates with 1/8 cup or more of the sauce mixed with 1 to 2 Tablespoons of the chopped mango. Sprinkle the red peppers and green onions over the sauce. Place the walleye on top and serve.

Serves: 6

Walleye Fillets Fried

Basic Pan Fried Walleye - Simply Delicious Home Recipe

This simple recipe is perfect for folks who love fish and don't want to taste anything else. The mild, light coating lets all of the sweet Walleye flavor shine through and it's so easy that anyone can make perfet walleye every time.

Walleye Fillets Frying In Pan

2 Eggs - 1 Cup Milk - 1/2 Tsp. Black Pepper - 1/2 tsp. Salt - 2 Cups White Flour - Canola Oil (or your favorite vegetable oil).

Mix the eggs, milk, black pepper and salt in a mixing bowl. Dip the Walleye fillets in the milk/egg bath and then roll the fillets in flour. Let the fillets stand on a plate for a few minutes while you heat your cooking oil to about 340°F. Place fillets in hot oil and fry one side until golden brown, flip and fry the other side until the fillet will not fold, buckle or break when lifted gently with a fork. . Do not overheat oil! Fillets should sizzle briskly, but to avoid burning, take care that the oil does not smoke while cooking.

Who thinks this sounds good??! smile i love it!!

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
