"Even after cooking thousands of fillets at our restaurant during the summer, this is a recipe I look forward to doing at home when I get a chance; it's that distinctive." --Chef Tom Kavanaugh

Pecans, almonds, and a variety of other nuts work in recipes to complement the mild, sweet taste of walleyes. Pine nuts are unfamiliar to many folks, but I think you'll find them wonderful. This recipe works with small bass and large panfish, too.

Ice lunch anyone? You know, shore lunch, except that you're on the water -- frozen water. Satisfy your hunger and regain your energy by using this tasty recipe to create a hearty soup that'll keep you going for hours.

When you stir fry you can substitute walleye, bass, pike, or perch for catfish. Catfish works so well, though, because it's so firm. Another beautifully firm and tasty fish is the burbot (eelpout).

Served with bread, this chowder is a fine lunch or evening dinner. You might also try a helping over southern-style biscuits.
