Frying fresh walleye by the lake is one of my favorite things to do in the summer. This simple but savory breading and secret trick of sprinkling the hot fillets with Nature's Seasons will have you coming back for more! The am

Recipe type: Fish
Serves: 5
Ingredients
  • 2 sleeves buttery crackers (such as Town House or Ritz)
  • handful minced dried onion
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 10 walleye fillets
  • Canola or other frying oil (enough so fillets are just submerged)
  • Nature's Seasons seasoning blend
Instructions
  1. Crush cracker crumbs (I like to use my food processor but a ziploc bag and rolling pin work well too) and mix with minced onion.
  2. Preheat the oil in a wide fry pan, to approximately 350-375. I usually don't have a thermometer by the lake so I test the oil by dropping in a few larger cracker crumbs, if they bubble and float you are ready to go. If it browns too fast, turn the oil down.
  3. For your breading station you will need 2 pie pans or other shallow containers. Pour half the cracker-onion mixture into one pie tin and beat the eggs in the other.
  4. Prepare the fish by dipping first in eggs, let drip off, coat with cracker crumbs (adding more to the pie pan as needed) and set aside on a plate.
  5. Drop enough fillets into the oil to fill the pan without crowding.
  6. Cook until the fish flakes easily and the breading is brown.
  7. Remove to a platter lined with paper towel and immediately sprinkle with Nature's Seasons.
  8. Grab a quick bite for yourself and watch your friends and family dig in!
