One of my favorite meals to cook when my friends come over for a simple dinner is this Best Fried Walleye. The local fish shop sells some of the best Canadian Walleye which is a very popular fish to hunt when you go fishing in the lakes of Canada.
Canadian cuisine includes a lot of tempura-type food and this Fried Walleye recipe is a perfect match to what we would serve at home. While the oil is hot, I like to throw in some potato cut French fries and serve it with lemon wedges and ketchup. No matter where in the world you’re from, everyone enjoys a good homemade fried fish.
To make The Best Fried Walleye, you will need the following ingredients:S
Check the fillets to ensure all bones and skin have been removed. Cut the fillets into manageable pieces, if necessary.
Place the beaten eggs in a bowl and set aside.
In another bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper and set aside.
In a third bowl, place the cracker crumbs and set aside.
In a deep fryer or a large cast iron skillet, over medium-high heat to 375 °F, heat the oil.
Dip the fillets into the flour mixture, then the eggs, and then the cracker crumbs and set the fillets aside on a plate.
To test if the oil is ready, drop a cracker crumb into the oil. If it is ready, the oil will crackle and pop.
Carefully lower fillets into the hot oil. Cook both sides for about 3 minutes, until well browned. Use tongs to turn the fillets.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve with vegetables, olives or lemon wedges.
