Selective Harvest
Breaded Walleye Fillets

This recipe, given to us many years ago by master Minnesota wild-game chef Tom Collins, remains on of the simplest, most delicious, and most foolproof recipes for walleyes.

  • Whip the eggs and put them into a flat pan. Add the milk and mix gently.

  • Season the fillets with salt and pepper, then dip each fillet in the egg mixture and bread lightly

  • Use enough cooking oil to cover the fillets. Be sure the cooking oil is maintained at 375° F.

  • Fry two fillets at a time until golden brown, about 6 minutes.

  • Drizzle on melted butter and garnish with a lemon wedge.

2 eggs

1/4 c. whole milk
