Walleye
in Lemon Dill Butter
Pine Portage Shore Lunch
This simple recipe is a nice alternative to fried walleye at
shore lunch sites. It tastes almost like lobster! You'll really
be surprised!
Serves 6
12 - 18 Walleye fillets
1/2 # Salted Butter
3 Fresh Lemons
1 Tablespoon Dill
Old Bay Seasoning
Fillet and skin walleyes, rinse and pat dry.
Slice one lemon thinly and set aside.
Have your camp fire going so your coals and flames are about
8-12 inches below your grate.
Use heavy duty aluminum foil and triple it up for strength (make
this large enough to accommodate all filets in a single layer).
Use part of butter to layout pats across the foil, generally
one or two pats per fillet. Lay fillets on top of butter pats.
Season lightly with Old Bay Seasoning.
Melt remaining butter in a small pot and squeeze the juice of
two lemons into butter , adding 3/4 of the dill to the mixture.
Bring to a simmer and let stand for five minutes.
Pour
butter mixture over fillets, place sliced lemon over fillets
and sprinkle with remaining dill. Cover with a single sheet
of foil sealing tightly and place on grill. After 15 -20 minutes
the top should rise up and then poke two small holes to release
the steam. Leave on grill five minutes longer. Serve with your
normal shore lunch goodies, beans and potatoes and bread.

Deep Fried Fish
Here’s
a twist on some similar recipes that gets the best reviews from
our fishing group every year:
Cut walleye pieces cross-wise into 3-4” chunks (narrower
strips work great too for kids and finger eating)
In
a plastic bag with plenty of Krusteaz pancake mix, shake pieces
until coated.
Coat
pieces in a mixture of beaten eggs, condensed milk and favorite
seasoning.
In
another plastic bag with Hungry Jack potato flakes, shake pieces
til coated.
Then
place in deep fat fryer and serve when golden brown.
Notes:
The
Krusteaz mix seals up the fish to keep in moisture and adds
a bit of sweetness to the flavor.
You
can easily add variation to the recipe by mixing Shore Lunch,
Frying Magic, cayenne pepper, etc to the potato flakes.
An
amply sized deep fryer is essential, as opposed to a frying
pan due to the consistent oil temp and control over the process.
After experimenting for many years, this recipe has emerged
as the absolute favorite of our seasoned fishing group. Hope
you all will give it a try!

Deep
Fried Fish
Hey
Scott, I've been a fisherman all my life.
This is a recipe that I use not only for walleye but, other
fresh water fish as well.
In
a large skillet, place about 1/2" of vegetable oil in skillet.
Turn flame to medium.
Pull skin off the fillets.
Cut fillets crossways into 3-4" chunks.
Take
pieces and put into medium size bowl filled with water and 2
teaspoons of salt.
Soak for about 1/2 hour.
To
make the breading you will need 1 cup of bisquick, 1cup of instant
mashed potato flakes, and 1/2 cup of frying magic.
Pour these items into a one gallon ziploc bag and shake well.
(you can substitute Frying Magic with Italian bread crumbs)
In
a small bowl, wisk 2 eggs with a splash of milk.
Take the walleye pieces and place in egg wash (make sure they
are covered on both sides). Then place them into bag with the
breading mixture.
Seal bag and shake until pieces are thouroughly covered.
Place
fish pieces into skillet for about 2-3 minutes per side.
To
check, take a spatula and cut into middle of fish. They should
be white and flaky. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness
and size of the pieces. Place the pieces on a plate covered
with paper towels or napkins to absorb the excess oil . Salt
and pepper to taste. ( I like a little lemon juice squeezed
on just before serving) Enjoy!
Sincerely,
Mark Young

Shep's Fish Batter
1 Egg
2 Tablespoons Buttermilk - Beat these two together
Dip fish in Batter first then drench in Dry ingredients
1 Tablespoon of dry dairy
whey
3 Tablespoons of corn starch
3 Tablespoons of corn meal
4 Tablespoons of Flour
1 Teaspoon of Onion Salt
Shake excess coating from
fish and proceed to fry. This coating keeps the fish from soaking up the
oil, and is one of the finest you'll ever eat.

Blackened Walleye
This is an easy recipe, but my favorite. Be careful with the cayenne or
you will have a super spicy piece of fish.
Fire up your grill.
Dip thawed fillets in melted butter (I usually add a little lemon juice to
the butter) or if you want your fish to be fat free substitute white wine.
Place the fillets on the grill and season them with cayenne pepper, black
pepper, garlic powder, and salt.
Put the lid back on your grill.
After 5 minutes (approx. for a fillet from a 2-3 lb. walleye) remove the
lid and loosen the fillets from the grill surface, DO NOT FLIP OR TURN THE
FILLETS.
Baste the fillets with butter or wine and re-season if necessary. Put the
lid back on the grill.
Wait another 5 minutes and your fillets should be ready. They are ready
when the thickest part of the fillet is white and will flake off.
I hope you enjoy this recipe.

dabs of butter/crushed walnuts/paprika on top and bring up the sides of
the foil and wrap over edge a couple of times, leaving a gap above the
fish. LEAVE the ends of the foil open, just bend them up a little. place

Rapids, WI
This recipe is equally
good for both perch and walleye. It should be noted that walleye fillets
that are to thick need to be thinned down. I like to make vertical cuts in
the fillet so that you have 1.5 inch strips what you need...
2 lbs. perch or walleye
fillets.
3 cups of flour
3 eggs
milk
Italian bread crumbs
corn flake crumbs
spices
I like to use 3
Tupperware containers with lids. Makes it a cleaner kitchen.
Put the three cups of flour in one of the containers. Add your fillets,
cover and shake.
Put the 3 eggs into another container, add add enough milk to make the
mixture runny, (like French toast mixture). Soak flour covered fillets in
egg dredge.
In the third container put in half Italian bread crumbs, half corn flake
crumbs, and spices. (If you like a bit of a bite add Lawry's seasoned salt
with red pepper and Tabasco, not too much and have a cold one ready!) Pull
egg covered fillets out and add to dry batter, shake and fry.
Fry your fillets on medium heat with just enough oil to fry one side at a
time. If you use a deep fryer it only takes 2 minutes @ 400 degrees. This
recipe is fast and easy, can be used as a shore lunch, and is sooo good!

Here's a quick easy recipe, low fat too.....
Ingredients: walleye fillets. salsa.low fat or regular shredded cheese
Put the walleye fillets in aluminum foil and cover them with your favorite
salsa. close up the foil tight and cook until just done. (about 15 minutes
at 350 in oven).
Open the foil and cover the fish with the shredded cheese, put it back
over the heat uncovered until the cheeses melts. This fish may be cooked
in oven, barbecue or even as an easy shore lunch.

This is how we like to cook up our catch when we camp.
Fold together two like sized pieces of aluminum foil (to create a seal)
Lay several full fillets on the foil. Dot with pats of butter or
margarine. Sprinkle with lemon-pepper. Seal up the foil and place on a hot
grill (can also be done in an oven at home). Cook until the fish flakes
apart. We like to eat this with potatoes that are also grilled in foil
with sliced onions for flavor.
This combination usually brings many compliments from area campers.

From: Jeff Kronforst
Subject: Char-Grilled Walleye DON'T DARE NOT TO READ THIS ONE
"Once you've had it, you'll never go back"
Walleye fillets the way they were meant to be prepared!
Simple/Healthy/Gourmet
1) One level gas grill, preheat on "high" 5-10 minutes.
2) Aluminum foil, edges turned up or rolled.
3) One stick of margarine.
4) Uncoated, unseasoned walleye fillets
Spread slices of
margarine onto aluminum foil... place on hot "high setting"
grill. When melted (not browned or burnt) lay fillets on foil, evening out
the melted margarine as you go. Lightly season with seasoning salt, close
grill cover. When top edges of fillets begin to cook (whiten), flip
fillets carefully, lightly salt again. Continue to cook with cover closed
until fish is almost completely flaky, then...... HERE's THE SECRET.....
punch holes in the aluminum foil, close the grill cover, and let the
smoking margarine and flames light up the town for one minute. Open cover,
and work the charred fillets off the foil (sticking slightly) and enjoy as
is. With a few attempts you will have learned the precise cooking time
providing for juicy, yet fully cooked, charred walleye fillets

A Collection of Recipes
from the Message Board ~ Thanks Guys!
Simple but good:
- Place fillets in plastic bag (freezer bag large enough to handle the
fish) that has Mayonnaise in it. Make sure the fillets are completely
coated.
- Place the mayo coated fillets in another freezer bag containing Italian
Bread Crumbs and again make sure the fillets are well coated. If you don't
have "Italian" style bread crumbs then use regular bread crumbs
and add some desired herbs and spices.
- Pan fry in butter or a oil or butter ( I use a 1/2 and 1/2 mixture of
Olive Oil and Butter) until golden brown making sure you don't overcook.
- Mayonnaise is used because it is simple and quick. It replaces the egg
and milk combo you have to mix. Mayo is basically egg and milk and a few
other ingredients.
- Unless you have a cold spot I wouldn't be using mayo that hasn't been
properly stored. So if you are looking for a real shore lunch a dry
coating is better and safer.
Try it - you will like it.

Melt 1/4 to 1/2 inch
of shortening, white Crisco is best in my eyes, in a cast iron frying pan
and let it get good and hot. Crack an egg or two in a bowl, depending on
how many fillets you plan to cook, add some milk and if you like a touch
of lemon, add a capful of concentrated lemon juice and mix it good. In a
separate shallow bowl, cake pan works good, put in a cup or two of flour
and add lots of black pepper and salt. Don't worry about putting too much
salt and pepper in as most of it remains in the pan anyway. Dip the fillet
cuts into the liquid bowl then into the dry bowl and coat well with the
flour mixture. Place the fish in the frying pan and turn over only once
when the sides begin to turn a golden brown. Don't overcook! There seems
to be something about the white Crisco that gives it a crispy golden
coating that I at least, can never obtain with other shortenings or oils.
Compliment with a can of Libby's Pork & Beans, a slice of bread and a
cold beer on the side!

Marinate fillets in lemon
juice for 1Hr. or more in fridge
Cover in flour shake off excess
Dip into beaten egg (no milk)
Roll or shake into crushed Post Toastie Corn Flakes.*
Make sure oil is Hot and Fry.
* We used to use any type of Corn Flake but discovered that the Post Toastie
brand gives a little bit sweeter taste.
|
The best recipe I have used
is to just get Ritz crackers and crush them up fine. Take the fillet's and dip
them in beaten eggs that have just a little bit of milk beaten into them. After
you dip them in the eggs roll them in the cracker mixture. If you like really
crisp fish put them back in the eggs and then back in the cracker mixture. Fry
them until they are golden brown. When you crush the crackers, season them with
salt and pepper and I use lemon pepper but you can season them with whatever you
like. Good luck and good eating!
|
Go to the grocery store and
get some fry crisp, or shore lunch, or any other kind of seasoned breading mix.
I personally like a dry batter, as opposed to a wet beer batter type, I think
the wet batter makes the fish more greasy, but that's just a personal
preference. If you use a dry batter, I like to doctor it up with my favorite
spice, salt, or other ingredients that can make it your "special"
recipe. You can use the fillets whole, or cut them into chunks like I like to
do, either way works. The chunks make them easier to work with. Run the fish
under cold water so they are good and wet, this helps the dry batter stick a bit
better. I should say now that while you are doing this, put anywhere from a half
inch to an inch of your favorite oil in the bottom of a fry pan and heat it till
a drop of water sizzles and dances all over the pan. Be careful though,
sometimes it will splatter and burn you. Ok, back to the fish. Take the wet
fillets and either roll them, or shake them in a plastic bag so they are well
coated. I like to take a large Tupperware container and put the fish and batter
in, put the top on, and shake it up good. Then take the fillets and put them
gently in the oil, don't put too many in at one time, they will stick together
if you do. Fry on one side till golden brown, turn and do the other side the
same way, take out of the pan and put on newspaper, or paper towel to drain
excess oil, and enjoy. One variation I like to do is use more oil so that when I
put the pan full of fish, I don't have to turn them, they are already surrounded
by oil, but that's just another personal preference, either way will work fine.
Do this, and you will want to fish even more than you do now just so you can
eat-em' up!!
Good Luck, and Good Fryin'

Listed below is how I soak
every piece of fish I cook, no matter where it came from.
For every 1 1/2 lbs of fillets
I soak them in one gallon of water containing:
one tablespoon of salt
one tablespoon of vinegar
one tablespoon of lemon juice-fresh (squeezed is best)
optional- substitute orange juice for lemon- a unique taste
After soaking for at least one hour, remove fillets, pat dry and then cook as
you wish Since using this soak method, I have never had a fishy or muddy tasting
fillet. It also works wonders on removing that freezer taste from a fillet that
wasn't wrapped right or stayed in the fridge too long.

Worlds Greatest
Gumbo...from Padre Russ (ARK)
This will not include
walleye...but feel free to add some...it is Gumbo.
Ingredients:
4 Duck breasts(2ducks)
2 chicken leg-quarters
1lb smoked sausage, cubed
1 lb bacon
6 Jalapeno Peppers(4 sliced, 2 whole)
2 yellow banana peppers(sliced)
1 medium sized white or yellow onion (chopped)
1cup rice...uncooked
2 8oz cans of whole tomatoes
flour
salt
pepper
red pepper/cayenne
Toni Catchiatories(sp) Cajun Seasoning
You can add veggies such as okra, beans, corn...anything...but I prefer it like
this.
Cooking instructions:
Boil the Duck and chicken in separate pots in heavily seasoned water (Garlic
powder, salt, pepper, cajun seasoning, whole peppers. Remove meat and save the
CHICKEN BROTH. Cube meat and set aside.
Cook the rice and set aside.
Cut bacon into 1 inch squares
and fry in cast iron skillet until extra crispy. Remove bacon from pan...keep
grease in pan. Wisk in enough flour to lightly thicken the grease, removing all
lumps (A reux). Lightly sauté the onions and sliced peppers in peppers in your
reux. Add canned tomatoes and simmer on low heat until lightly boiling...add
meat (Chicken, Duck, bacon, sausage)...simmer until lightly boiling again. Take
a taste of the soupy part...season to taste. Remember "HOT is good."
Pour into a pot (I use a 5 quart crock pot to keep from scorching) add rice to
the pot as well. Mix together and let cook on lowest setting for 30 minutes to 6
hours adding chicken broth to keep at a "mashed potato consistency (you
will understand)." This is not a soup...this is gumbo...this is thick
gumbo...some people would rather call it Creole...I don't care what you call
it...it is good. This warms up great and makes enough for a good group.
Just coat fillets in yellow
mustard, dip in yellow corn meal & fry. Gotta try it!!

- Mayonnaise (substitute
different salad dressings if wanted remember though that it will affect the
flavor)
- Italian Style Bread crumbs (has Romano Cheese in it already)
- Olive oil and/or butter
Sparingly cover filets with the
mayonnaise (or salad dressing). Cover the filets with the Italian style
breadcrumbs (shake in a baggie is usually what I do.
Pan fry until golden brown in a heated frying pan using olive oil and a little
bit of butter to add taste if wanted - do not overcook! If you do not want to
use the oil/butter then just spray the frying pan with a "Pam" style
spray which also works.
I have also prepared the filets as above without cooking them and then froze
them on a cookie sheet and then bagged them for future meals. This saves a whole
lot of time.
Enjoy,

All you need for this recipe is
a good filet and a bag of chips, any flavor will do, but dill pickle is best in
my opinion. Simply crush your chips place filet in bag and shake. You're ready
for the pan, no oil or butter required. cook and serve, Enjoy! Better than you
could ever imagine.

Subject: Walleye at it's
Best
From: "zbasnik"
Dip the fillets in a mixture of 2 eggs to 1/4c. milk then coat them with finely
crushed saltine crackers. Deep fry the fillets in hot oil for approximately 2
minutes on each side. The secret to any good meal of walleye is to 1) make sure
they are boneless and 2) to keep the fillets thin so double fillet those thicker
ones.

Subject: Walleye on the
grill
From: Boyd H. Martin
Filet walleye leaving the
scales and skin on, removing the rib bones and zipper bones. Season with garlic,
paprika,salt and pepper. Put some real butter in a bowl with the same seasonings
melt in the microwave. Place the filet skin down directly on the grill on high.
Close the lid, and cook till
fish starts to turn white on edges. Baste the fish with the butter until it is
all white and cooked. This will look like something out of a gourmet restaurant.
You can cut the fish while still on the grill, serve and eat the meat off the
skin.
This sounds gross but it really
is great and a way to try something different. The bigger the walleye the
better, I have cooked 10llbers and they are great!! (Hint) add some real lemon
in the butter.

1/3 cup fresh lemon juice.

I catch my share of
Northerns as I'm sure you do when walleye fishing. I used to cuss and moan about

De bone the pike( if you don't know how ask me for a scanned direction sheet.)
cut into 1 inch pieces
boil 3 qt. of water hard
add 1/3 cup of sugar
add 1/3 cup salt
remove from heat and cover let stand for 20 minutes or so
Dip in melted butter or Margarine.

Breakfast earth
walleye
Submitted by: Rodney Dornian
Take 2 - 3 lb. walleye, slit
belly remove innards, and wash. Stuff the belly cavity with butter , green
onions, salt and pepper. Hold the belly cavity together using tooth picks.
Here's the trick. Wrap the whole walleye in one layer of newspaper. From the
desired river or lake you are fishing at, completely cover the fish now wrapped
in newspaper with 1 / 16 " of clay or mud. Repeat seven more times using
the layered newspaper and clay. Before starting your evening bonfire, place the
fish package at the bottom of the fire pit. Go ahead and enjoy your bonfire. In
the morning as you are heading out for another day on the lake, crack open the
fish package and watch how beautifully the walleye has steam cooked in the
package. The newspaper pulls the scales and skin off, remove the main skeleton
and enjoy the " Breakfast Earth Walleye".

Heart Healthy Walleye
recipe
Submitted by: Dave Dilks
Here's my "bare
bones" approach. The only exotic ingredient is a Teflon grill plate that
prevents the fish from falling through the grates.
Spray each fillet lightly with
non-stick cooking spray.
Place on grill plate and grill until fish starts to flake, turning once.
Garnish with fresh lemon juice.
I'll admit that it's not as tasty as the other recipes here,
but it allows me to eat walleye as often as I like.

From Backwater Eddy (Ed
Carlson)
It's not exactly walleye, but it sure sounds good!
Pheasant Enchilada's
2 lbs pheasant breasts cut into small pieces (approx. 6-8 breasts)
1 large white onion, diced
2 - 15 oz. cans green chili enchilada sauce (I use Old El Paso)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 small can green chilis, diced
1 small can jalapenos, diced (or less depending on taste)
1 tblsp chili powder
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
16 oz. sour cream
2 lbs shredded cheese (I like a combination of Monterey Jack and mild cheddar)
1 package of flour tortillas (about 12)
Add green chili enchilada sauce, cream of chicken soup, half of the diced onion, diced green
chilies, diced jalapenos, cumin, and chili powder to medium sauce pan, blend well and simmer for at least 30 min.
Sauté pheasant pieces until done.
Remove from heat and immediately add 1 lb of cheese, sour cream and remaining raw onion. Mix together. Pour small amount of enchilada sauce into 9x13 baking dish, just enough to coat bottom. Fill tortillas with pheasant mixture, roll up and place rather tightly into the baking dish. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over top of enchiladas and cover with remaining cheese.
Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until hot. Garnish with freshly torn or chopped cilantro, sliced fresh jalapenos, black olives, more diced raw onion, guacamole or whatever you like. The fresh cilantro is key, though

water and dip in shrimp sauce |
I
don't like to fry walleye fillets anymore....simply because I
can't stand the smell of fried food lingering in the house.
This is a simple very good dish:
1) Thawed walleye fillets, patted dry
2) Dot a casserole dish with butter/margarine, and place the fillets
on top.
3) Generously sprinkle McCormick brand "It's a Dilly" (a salt-free
lemon-dill seasoning) over the fillets, and again dot them with
butter. (Sometimes I sprinkle dried breadcrumbs over them, too).
4) Bake at 400 for about 10 to 15 minutes, until it flakes with
a fork. YUM!

Here's a recipe that I use for walleye,bass and trout.
Place fillets on a double sheet of foil. Add a dollup of butter
to each fillet then sprinkle with lemon pepper and seasoning salt.
Cover each fillet with rings of onion, then the best part: strips
of bacon. Cook in oven at 350 till bacon is done.
This recipe is great on the grill (close up foil) or in the oven.

and dredged them in
1 cup bread crumbs
½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
