Ingredients
  • 6 Walleye fillets
  • 2 Eggs
  • 3/4 cups Flour
  • 1 cup Italian style bread crumbs
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • 4 tbsp Oil
Instructions
  1. 1
    Lightly beat eggs in a dish.
  2. 2
    In another dish, combine flour, bread crumbs, and seasoning.
  3. 3
    Dip the fish in eggs and then in a flour mixture. Shake off any excess flour.
  4. 4
    Add a couple tablespoons of oil to a pan and heat it over medium heat.
  5. 5
    When the pan is hot, add 3-4 fillets to the pan. Cook 3 minutes per side so each is nicely browned.

Note
  • I use canola or vegetable oil for frying. May substitute white fish fillets for walleye.
  • Tips:
    Once my fillets are nicely browned, I remove them from the pan and place them on a baking sheet lined with a rack. Then I pop them into a 250°F oven while I continue cooking the rest of the fillets. This helps keep the fish warm and crisp.
    Don't overcrowd the pan. Add just enough fillets so there is a bit of space between each fillet.
    I use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet, but any large pan will work.
    If using frozen fish, allow the fish to fully thaw. Pat the fish with a paper towel to make certain it's dry.
