Best Fried Walleye

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

Steps to make Best Fried Walleye

1

Check and prep the fillets

5min

Check the fillets to ensure all bones and skin have been removed. Cut the fillets into manageable pieces, if necessary.
2

Eggs

1min

Place the beaten eggs in a bowl and set aside.
3

Combine the flour mix

1min

In another bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper and set aside.
4

Cracker crumbs

1min

In a third bowl, place the cracker crumbs and set aside.
5

Heat the oil

10min

In a deep fryer or a large cast iron skillet, over medium-high heat to 375 °F, heat the oil.
6

Dip the fillets

10min

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.
