Cooking Walleye

Walleye is by far my favorite freshwater fish that lives around Iowa. If cooked right it has almost no fishy taste. It also will be flaky and delicious. Let's look at some ways to cook this awesome fish. One way is to bake the fillets in an oven. This is a good way for your mom to cook fish. I prefer other ways however. Another way is to smoke it. Smoked fish is a delicacy and I would cook them like that every time if it didn't take so long. That is the only problem with that way of cooking. Pan frying the fillets is also another option. This is a good way also. I like to bread them with some cracker crumbs, lemon juice, butter, and seasonings. This makes them crispy and enjoyable. The real manly way to cook fish is to grill them. I love the taste the grill gives the fish. It is best to put foil down before laying the fish on the grill. You should also make sure to add plenty of butter and seasonings. My all time favorite way to cook fish is right on a camp fire. Here is how I do it. First, get a large piece of tin foil. Then, put the fillets on the foil. Add a large amount of butter. Put whatever kind of seasonings you like and don't forget the lemon juice. Then fold the foil over the fish sealing the fillets in. Make sure you clear a place for the foil pouch in the fire. It works well to spread coals out evenly and flat. Set the pouch on the coals and it usually takes 7 to 10 minutes depending on how thick the fillets are. Thicker fillets may take longer. When they are done you will be able to flake the fish easily with a fork. That is my favorite way to cook fish. You should try it sometime. It is delicious!
