Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer until smooth. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Batter the Walleye

    Dip each walleye fillet into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Walleye

    Carefully place the battered fillets into the hot oil in batches, frying for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On each hoagie roll, place a layer of romaine lettuce, followed by a fried walleye fillet, tomato slices, and a generous dollop of tartar sauce.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the walleye sandwiches immediately while hot.
