Broccoli

French Fries

Method

Walleye Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer or sparkling water until the batter is smooth and thick.

  2. 2

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F/175°C).

  3. 3

    Coat and Fry Walleye

    Dip each walleye fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, and carefully place in the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Tartar Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Mix Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, dill pickles, capers, lemon juice, and fresh dill. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well and refrigerate until serving.

Garlic Bread Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Garlic Butter

    In a bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and salt until well combined.

  2. 6

    Spread on Bread

    Slice the French bread in half lengthwise and spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on both halves.

  3. 7

    Toast

    Place the bread under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Broccoli Preparation

  1. 8

    Prepare Broccoli

    In a steamer or pot, bring water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and steam for about 5-7 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt.

French Fries Preparation

  1. 9

    Fry Potatoes

    In the same oil used for frying walleye, carefully add the cut potatoes. Fry for about 4-6 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt to taste.
