Fried Walleye Ingredients

Preparation

Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the batter

In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, pepper, and paprika.

2. Prepare the egg wash

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

3. Coat the fish

Dip each walleye fillet into the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour-cornmeal mixture until evenly coated.

4. Heat the oil

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

5. Fry the walleye

Carefully add the coated fillets to the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

6. Drain and serve

Remove the fried walleye from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges.
