Best Fried Walleye recipe

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.
