Method

For the Walleye Fish Sandwich

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading

    In one bowl, combine all-purpose flour and Cajun seasoning. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. In a third bowl, place cornmeal.

  2. 2

    Bread the Walleye

    Dip each walleye fillet first in the flour mixture, then in the egg mixture, and finally coat with cornmeal.

  3. 3

    Fry the Fish

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the breaded fillets in the skillet. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    To assemble, place a fried walleye fillet on the bottom half of a burger bun. Top with lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a generous dollop of tartar sauce. Place the top half of the bun over the sandwich.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the walleye fish sandwiches hot with your choice of sides.
