One of the greatest rewards of a successful fishing trip is trying out some tasty new recipes with your haul! There are a ton of fish species that can be transformed into creative, mouthwatering meals—catfish, trout, swordfish, salmon, and more.
Here at Lawrence Bay Lodge, one of our favorite fish to fry has got to be walleye! Check out these three delectable, savory dishes we’ve gathered for you to prepare with the premier walleye you’ll catch during your visit to Saskatchewan!
1) Honey-Fried Walleye
Add a tempting twist to a traditional fried fish fillet with a sweet honey glaze! This enticing recipe is easy to prepare—just make the coating, lather up your walleye, and fry it up in the skillet. It’ll be ready to go in about 15 minutes! Start by preparing a simple egg-and-honey mixture to dip the fillets, then coat the glazed fish with a flavorful mixture of crushed saltines, flour, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the finished walleye in honey and enjoy!
2) Hearty Walleye Fish Pie
If you’re craving something warm and filling, a walleye fish pie is a great option. This dish combines tender fish with creamy sauce, vegetables, and a layer of mashed potatoes for a comforting meal.
Walleye pairs well with rich ingredients, allowing it to hold its own in a heartier recipe. The flaky texture blends perfectly with soft potatoes and savoury flavours, making this an ideal dish for cooler evenings or when you want something a little more substantial.
3) Hot Walleye Dip
Turn your best walleye into a delectable game-day or cocktail-party appetizer with this recipe from NellieBellie! This gooey, cheesy dip is perfect for serving with bread, crackers, or even some crunchy veggies. Use a generous amount of butter and onions as you prepare your walleye to give it a distinctive flavor that complements the thick, zesty cheese mixture you’ll use to turn it into your new favorite dip!
There’s nothing more satisfying than using the walleye you caught yourself to fill your dinner plate! Enjoy the beautiful scenery of Reindeer Lake and the other bountiful fishing spots Lawrence Bay Lodge has to offer, as you head out on a quest for our juicy 2-6-pound walleyes.
