Fresh Walleye Fillet for dinner

[440 Charger]

From Key Hole, Wyoming. Broiled in a sauce pan with butter and white wine. Big pinch of sea salt and just a little fresh ground black pepper. Accompanied by baked broccoli and crinkle fries. I could do it all over again.

Guess what the dog had... same thing (poured over his dog food) He could do it again too.

Very nice.

Sounds great, I thought people hated Walleye though..or is it Pike?

It must be Pike, I have never seen Pike on a restaurant menu and around here they don't get very big. Hammer handles. Must be warm water fish. We toss them on the beach for critters to eat. Damn bait stealers.

I feel like a leper now....all I had for dinner was eye-fillet steak with mushroom sauce.

damn makes me hungry now for fish

I love fish, my second favorite meal

we don't have Walleye or much Pike out here
we do have some great trout fishing,
Browns, Rainbow & Goldens or Brooks
(my favorite type is streams, small rivers, higher elevations)
salmon, steelhead, bass largemouth & smallmouth
striper bass in the bigger rivers, that feed into the Pacific Ocean
good channel catfish & some huge sturgeon too
lil' ponds with catfish, yummy fried
& perch/bluegills tasty grilled for breakfast

I don't mind trolling some too, have an old 16' bowrider/outboard
but I prefer streams & walking/hiking

then there's that big body of water
just left of US 'the Pacific Ocean'
rock, canary or lingcod, pacific flounder & striper or salmon
are my favorites, shark is fun to catch too (not that great eating)

Up in Alaska, it was Halabot & all species of Salmon, some lake pike
or sturgeon, lots of trout species or shad, I lived off fish up there

Ok, last time I went fishing I caught a few nice snapper....here is my best - about 5 pounds.

Beautiful eating fish.....fried in butter....fine breadcrumb coating enhances the experience.

That ain't snapper. Smells similar but looks completely different.

Best fish I ever had was at Oahe Lodge on the MO river 20 yeas ago. It was swimming hours before cooked. Grouper is pretty good, also.

Many years ago, traveling with Pipeliners Local Union 798 , I found myself in Northern Minnesota , in January and February on a job , welding 36” heavy wall pipe concrete coated , across peat moss bogs frozen 10’ thick in places , daylight temps were well below 0* and at night like a blizzard ! Being the Southerner, that I am , I love to fish and met a fellow in the town, where I was staying from my home area ! His family moved there when he was a child to work in the local paper mill ! As we got to know each other better , I was invited to go fishing with him and some older buddies , in a small house pulled out on a frozen lake by his mini truck ! Wow what an experience, and great fun , catching large walleyes , for all of the guys gathered as they were to busy drinking warm booze and getting very joyous to say the least ! Best fish I ever ate , fried southern style ! To this day I can taste that fresh cold water fish and smile and remember the fun we had and the joy of enjoying that fish !

You were lucky. Like they say, 10,000 lakes, 1,000 fish.
Just a joke

What, no one here likes tuna?

I had to throw away about 20# of tuna bellies & a lot of salmon because of power outage/evacuation(s) last fall.
