Grilled Eye

[Bogsucker]

Having actually caught some eyes fishing with Jim W on Pepin early this week I tried a recipe of his. If you like smoked fish you gotta try this.

Walleye or other fish cut into ±1" cubes

Bacon cut in half

Wrap 1/2 a bacon strip around the fish chunk throw it on the grill, when bacon is done fish is done.

I secured the bacon with toothpicks but had to remove them as they are flammable.

jeeez, still bashing me for getting you on walleyes??

I can't recall you taking me somewhere that I could or did catch some walleye???hmmmmlol!

I learned that recipe from Tony S of Shoreview! Completely awesome!! You don't have to worry about the mess of batter, just as Bogsucker mentioned, flaming toothpicks!!!

Very scrumptous!!!!!! I am glad you tried it

Well considering our past LOL. Didn't you catch some eyes down to the spillway?

Hats off to Tony then also for suggesting the recipe

One suggestion, consume them in moderation, I ate enough of them last night to use up 1/2 a pound of bacon and suffered the consequences about 2 hours later.

Just a suggestion. Put you toothpicks in a zip baggie, add water, they wont burn when cooked over open fire. Old girl scout tip.

Hi Wendy:

Here's one for you on the grill at home or on the pontoon. Mix up apricot preserves, a little honey, Kikoman's Teriyaki, real lime juice and some ginder and paint this glaze on a large salmon filet (skin side on grill, of course). Keep the snitchers away until you get in the house. You can use the same glaze for butterflyed chicken filets. Enjoy!

Got carried away and reposted the same recipe..
We also broil these and use other fish and or seafood wrapped with the bacon.
Also try a teaspoon of BBQ sauce on each before cooking...... very good!

I'll add one tip. Mix up some "poultry seasoning" (or other prefered seasoning) with mayonaise. Helmons is real mayonaise - made from egg whites and oil so it can be cooked - Miricle Whip cannot. Slather the the cubes with this mixture before you wrap them up in the bacon - YuuUUuummy.

You can hardly made these things fast enough when you have guests over.

Thanks Stiff!

I tried these tonight and they went over pretty well. Think I'll use pepper bacon next time and maybe your tip too. They were still very good though.
