In a heavy bottom or cast-iron pan, heat the sesame oil over medium-high until hot. Add the fish and stir to cook quickly, about 1 minute. Add the garlic, ginger, and all the vegetables and stir for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the soy-water mixture all at once and cover the pan. Cook on high heat for about 5 minutes. Taste the fish and vegetables to be sure they are cooked the way you like them. Cook longer if necessary. Vegetables should be crispy. Add the lime juice and chopped cilantro. Serve the walleye stir fry on rice or noodles garnished with sesame seeds and cilantro sprigs.
