bobbernumber3: " Your post reminded me of this series of videos. These Canadians just kind of casually catch a lot of walleye (which they like to call pickerel) and pan fry them over a campfire. They don't dwell on it much but it caught my attention. shore lunch They had one where they added some seasoning but I can't find that exact one right now. Their basic method appears to be pan frying in a small amount of oil. I like to cook fish in ghee or peanut oil. Also their videography is good and I like their videos. :-) I found another lunch that shows them cooking in the same video: Another shore lunch |

He marinated the filets with the skins on and places them on a hot grill. The fish and skins tend to stick to the grill and the fillets fall apart as he turns them over. The result in a mess of meat with burnt edges and not much in terms of flavor. We are going on a Northern Canada trip and I will be doing the cooking. He is hoping grilled walleye is on the menu... So does anyone have a nice grilled walleye recipe to share?? I would really appreciate any helpful hints or should I avoid grilled walleye altogether? |

I like this way because theres no mess. I like to put the used foil in a small ziplock first before putting in the main garbage ziplock. |

Another way you can cook them on the firegrate is to remove the skin on the fillets. Put them into a fish basket made for cooking fish. They are a flat mesh basket sometimes with a handle for turning. The fillets stay together nicely. You will need to spray the grate with Pam cooking spray before cooking. For me I like to cook them in a spoonful or two of butter flavored Crisco. |
