Sweeten Up Your Walleye with some Honey!

If you, or somebody you know, have been successful in any recent fishing trips, I bet you’re wondering how to get creative with preparing it. Let’s start with walleye. That is some good-eating fish there. Why not try sweetening it up with some honey? I just found a “Honey-Fried Walleye Recipe” at tasteofhome.com that makes me want to play hookey, just like the Captain did–(click HERE to read about that) and snag some walleye.

It only takes a total of 15 minutes, from start to finish, to prepare this dish! It feeds 4-6 people, and if you have more mouths to feed than that, double it up! They suggest enjoying your Honey-Fried Walleye with a “light-bodied white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.“

Ingredients

1 egg

1 teaspoon honey

1 cup coarsely crushed saltines (about 22 crackers)

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

4 to 6 walleye fillets (about 1-1/2 pounds)

Canola oil

Additional honey

Directions

In a shallow bowl, beat egg and honey. In another bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, flour, salt and pepper. Dip fillets into egg mixture, then coat with crumb mixture.

In a large skillet, heat 1/4 in. of oil; fry fish over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Drizzle with honey. Yield: 4-6 servings.
