Sandwich Components

Breading & Frying

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Walleye

    Rinse the walleye fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading Station

    Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten egg mixed with milk, and one with cornmeal. This will be used to bread the fish.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Bread the Walleye

    Dredge each fillet in flour, shaking off excess. Dip it into the egg and milk mixture, then coat it thoroughly with cornmeal. Set aside on a plate.

  2. 4

    Fry the Fillets

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the breaded walleye fillets in the skillet. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise. Place two lettuce leaves on the bottom half of each roll, followed by a slice of tomato. Add the fried walleye fillet on top and generously drizzle with tartar sauce. Place the top half of the roll over the fish.
