About Fish, pike, walleye, cooked, dry heat

The walleye (Sander vitreus) is a popular freshwater fish native to the lakes and rivers of North America, named for its large, glassy, light-reflecting eyes that help it hunt in dim water. It is one of the most sought-after sport and food fish of the northern lakes, prized for delicate, pearly-white flesh that cooks up flaky and tender with a mild, sweet, almost buttery flavor and no fishy taste.

Walleye is a lean source of high-quality protein and supplies omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, niacin, and selenium. The thin, fine-grained fillets are best suited to quick cooking, classically pan-fried in a light breading until golden, and they are also baked, broiled, grilled, and used in shore lunches and fish fries throughout the Great Lakes and Canada. Because the flesh is delicate, it is handled gently to keep the fillets intact.

Choose fillets that look moist and translucent with a clean, fresh-lake smell, and store walleye well chilled, using it within a day or two.
