Walleye Fingers

Walleye is a freshwater fish that belongs to the perch family.
It can be found in Canada and Northern parts of the USA.
Walleye live in rivers, lakes and ponds.
They prefer clean water with a rocky or gravelly bottom.

Walleye is one of the most sought after fish because
of it's thick white flesh and delicate flavor.

There is nothing better than fresh walleye,
prepared and eaten on the same day you caught it.
If you happen to catch more walleye
than you can eat in one day,
freeze some walleye for later....
to make these fast and easy fish sticks.

This recipe is simple and light, yet delicious.
Walleye doesn't require a heavily spiced coating,
which means a light batter is better for walleye,
to allow the naturally delicious flavor to shine through.
Serve Walleye Fingers with lemon wedges,
no tartar sauce required.....
