Fish Recipes

Years ago, when I realized that I liked to eat fish as much as I liked to catch them, I also realized that just dipping a fillet into some sort of batter and frying it was going to get boring after a while — especially if I were going to eat fish on a fairly regular basis. And so began the quest of trying to determine just how many ways a walleye — or any other freshwater fish — could be successfully prepared, and which fish recipe would best lend itself to any particular occasion or menu.

There were a lot of fish recipes that I discovered and attempted; much experimentation took place, and lots of sources were consulted. The walleye recipes were also tried with blue gills, northern pike, bass, crappie, perch and smelt. I even substituted salt-water varieties for my freshwater choices, and suddenly a whole new world opened up.
