Walleye Fingers Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Walleye

   Cut the walleye fillets into finger-sized strips.

2. 2

   Set up the Breading Station

   In one bowl, place the flour mixed with salt, pepper, and paprika. In a second bowl, beat the eggs and milk together. In a third bowl, combine the cornmeal with a pinch of salt.

3. 3

   Coat the Walleye

   Dip each walleye strip first in the flour mixture, then in the egg mixture, and finally in the cornmeal, ensuring an even coating.

4. 4

   Fry the Walleye

   In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the walleye fingers in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

5. 5

   Make the Spicy Tartar Sauce

   In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, dill pickle relish, hot sauce, and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning to taste.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the crispy walleye fingers hot with the spicy tartar sauce on the side.
