Best Fried Walleye image

This is the recipe my dad has been using for 25 years. It's light and clean-tasting because there's no sense in masking the naturally delicious flavor of such an awesome Canadian delicacy! No tartar sauce needed!

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 walleye fillets
2 eggs, beaten
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 pinch salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups crushed saltine crackers
vegetable oil for frying
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Check the fillets to ensure all bones and skin have been removed. Cut the fillets into manageable pieces, if necessary.
  • Place the beaten eggs a bowl and set aside. Combine the flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in another bowl. Pour the cracker crumbs into a third bowl.
  • Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Dip the fillets into the flour mixture, then the eggs, and then the cracker crumbs and set fillets aside on a plate. Test the oil: it will crackle and pop when a cracker crumb is dropped into it. Carefully lower 2 fillets into the hot oil. Cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side, using tongs to turn the fillets. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with remaining fillets. Serve with fresh lemon wedges.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it. The walleye is crispy and flavorful, and the lemon-pepper seasoning is perfect.

The walleye was a little bland, but the tartar sauce helped to add some flavor.

This recipe is a mess. The instructions are unclear and the ingredients are all over the place. I ended up with a greasy, soggy mess.

This is the best fried walleye recipe I've ever tried! I've made it several times now, and it's always perfect. The walleye is crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside, and the lemon-pepper seasoning is perfect.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my walleye didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. I think I'll try frying it at a higher temperature next time.

The walleye was a little too greasy for my taste, but the flavor was good.

This fried walleye recipe is a keeper! The fish was crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. The lemon-pepper seasoning was perfect, and the tartar sauce was a great complement.
