Who wants to share a recipe for my favorite table fare, the Walleye. Anybody have any unusual ones? Distinct?

Here's a simple, but delicious one --

Cut walleye fillets into 3 inch pieces. Stir fry in skillet with plenty of lemon peper, some garlic, butter, and rough chopped onion. The onions will tell you when the fish is done.

Clayton I've never thought of stir frying the fish, I'm gonna have to try that. I have a hard time deviating from my old standby...

ShoreLunch with a little realemon and fresh ground pepper. I just can't get enough of it!

Paul, Did I hear somewhere that you run a restaurant somewhere?

CapnJosh --
I've been trying to stay away from the deep fried and batter fried because of a scare my physician has thrown at me -- so much of the stuff I really like is now off limits (for the most part) 'till I get triglycerides, cholesterol, and BP readings back down.

But, that stir fry walleye is top shelf. Let me know how you like it.

Yep,

How about an baked walleye fillet, served on a mound of scallion mashed potatoes, topped with crafish and brie, and a roasted red pepper sauce? I actually stole and modified this recipe from a well known Lake Minnetonka area resturant.

Start by making a roasted red pepper sauce; preheat oven to 400, remove seeds etc from red, yellow, orange bell peppers, cut into thirds, brush with a little olive oil and place in a roasting dish and roast for 15 minutes skin side up. Remove and place in a paper bag and allow to cool, meanwhile sautee one onion and a few cloves of garlic and one tomato until onion is soft. peel the peppers and place in blender with onion, garlic and tomato and a tablespoon or two of olive oil, puree until very smooth, balance with salt and reserve.

Prepare yukon gold or red potatoes for mashed potatoes, mash with a tablespoon or two of scallion flavored oil.

Boil crawfish in salted, seasoned (cajun) water for 5 minutes, cool, peel and devien.

Place walleye fillet on greased baking dish, brush lightly with olive oil, bake until nearly done, arrange crawfish and brie pieces on top of walleye fillet, return to oven until done, meanwhile heat some of the red pepper sauce in a saucepan and arrange a mound of the mashed potato on a serving platter, garnish with a few slivers of scallion, place fillet on side of potatoes and drizzle with the roasted red pepper sauce. Fine dining!

PWaldo...I also used to operate my own restaurant, one of our fishing camp favorites is to take damp fillets, shake them in seasoned flour, run them through a bowl of milk, then shake them in fined ground taco flavored chip dust, then quick fry in soybean oil, very light crispy breading!! nevertried these cold, never have had any left!! OLE'

Which one? Maybe the wife and I will stop in some night.

Here's one similar to BFJ's. We came upon this recipe ice fishing 2 years ago. We forgot to bring along flour and had the fillets ready to go into the pan. We crused up Chedder Cheese flavored potatoe chips. Covered the fillets with that and then pan fried them. It turned out pretty darn good. With all the different flavored chips today, a guy may want to experiment.
