Walleye Dont Last Long

[Feathers and Fins]

And this is why I have a hard time keeping Walleye in the freezer

1^st soak the Walleye in ( Zesty Italian Dressing ) for 24 hours in the refrigerator

2^nd Pour 1 bottle of Vegetable oil in a large pot and cook on high for 10 minutes then reduce heat to half for 5 minutes.

While the oil is heating

Crush 1 package of Saltine cracker in a 1 gallon zip-lock bag and add 1 cup of Flour and ½ bottle of McCormicks Lemon Pepper to the mix. Shake well for 30 seconds to blend the mix completely.

Break open 3 large eggs and mix well, add these to another 1 gallon zip-lock bag.

3^RD Drain the walleye from the soaking solution and blot dry with a paper towel and then add to the egg bag. Shake well for 1 minute and then let sit for 2 minutes.

4^th Add the walleye to the mix bag, DO NOT SHAKE! Gently roll the bag over and over for 2 minutes to completely coat the Walleye.

By now the oil should be perfect ( I do not know the temp as its more a visual)

5^th Place the Walleye in a metal strainer and gently place in the oil mix for 4 minutes. After 4 minutes remove from heat for 2 minutes or until the oils stop popping.

6^th Remove the strainer with the Walleye in it and place on a towel or plate for 2 minutes to allow excess oil to drain off.

7^th Place Walleye on a plate and then lightly re-sprinkle with lemon pepper.
