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.
This Best Fried Walleye is loved by everybody who tries it. If you get the chance to travel to the lakes of Canada, you will most likely find yourself fishing this game fish! When you take it home, make this recipe and send us your pictures! Tag #cookmerecipes in your posts!
