This is the recipe my dad has been using for 25 years. It's light and clean-tasting because there's no sense in masking the naturally delicious flavor of such an awesome Canadian delicacy! No tartar sauce needed! Ingredients:
4 walleye fillets |
2 eggs, beaten |
1/2 cup all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 pinch salt (optional) |
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper |
2 cups crushed saltine crackers |
vegetable oil for frying |
1 lemon, cut into wedges |
Directions:
1. Check the fillets to ensure all bones and skin have been removed. Cut the fillets into manageable pieces, if necessary.
2. Place the beaten eggs a bowl and set aside. Combine the flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in another bowl. Pour the cracker crumbs into a third bowl.
3. Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
4. Dip the fillets into the flour mixture, then the eggs, and then the cracker crumbs and set fillets aside on a plate. Test the oil: it will crackle and pop when a cracker crumb is dropped into it. Carefully lower 2 fillets into the hot oil. Cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side, using tongs to turn the fillets. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with remaining fillets. Serve with fresh lemon wedges.
