MOM used to bake Walleye with stewed tomatoes yummmm. Haven't had that for years.
For walleye & perch ,I'm pretty traditional, egg, itialian breadcrumbs, fried in " peanut " oil. Always with my grandma's recipe of slaw & fries.
I have taken big fillets before & broiled them with butter, fresh garlic & sliced mushrooms.
There is also a Chef Paul Prudhomes " Seafood Magic " spice. Like a cajun spice but with out the heavy salt added. I have taken perch fillets and sprinkled some of that on 1/2 and sprinkled lemon pepper seasoning on the other 1/2.
Also take zuchini, cut in 1/4" thick planks coat w/ olive oil and grill quickly ( not till mushy ) for a side then sprinkle parmesan cheese on them. ( for a side )
Just some idea's......

Well I have 2 ways to cook the fish both are a bit well let’s just say "strange".
Prepare both the same way, Season to taste, lemon, salt/pepper wrap in foil.
Now here’s the "strange" part. Remember I said 2 ways to cook not prepare.
Dig a hole about 2ft deep 2 to 3ft wide in a grassy area keep the grass top as a lid fill the hole about 1/2 way with charcoal lite the coals and get red hot and let them start to cool place the fish wrapped in foil on the coal bed and cover with the grass lid. Should be done in about 20min based on the size/amount of the fish.
The second and stranger way to cook your foil wrapped fish is in your DISHWASHER, yes I said DISHWASHER folks without the soap of course. Normal wash setting using the "heat" mode.
Been years but I've tried both ways, the "buried" way I learned back in Boy Scouts years ago. The dishwasher way I learned from an old employee who grew up in Jamaica.

We eat alot of walleyes & one of the best & quickest way is over the weber grill. The gas grill is good 2 but doesn't have as good of flavor as weber. Just put fish in foil with some onions sprinkle some lawyr's & alot of butter and leave top of foil open. If u fry fish the old fashion way scale them & fry with the skin on seems 2 be alot more flavor 2 me.
One new way I learned in May was to take your fillets (we used yellow perch, crappie, and some bullhead) and put them in foil. Put butter, onions(be generous), and salt and pepper (or whatever you like). Put them on the grill for 5 or 10 minutes.
I can't explain how good that is. You wouldn't think it would taste that good but with mild fish....oh man!
Still can't beat the ol peanut oil fryer but it's close. Dip your fillet in egg and milk, then dip in a flour and saltine cracker mixture. Maybe put some seasoning in the flour and saltine mix. Crazy good!

On the grill, I use Salmon on foil with a ton of butter, onions lemon salt and pepper and steam it. Deep fry, I like Drakes, Shore lunch both with beer instead of water on most any fish. Walleye I crumble up corn flakes and mix with egg to batter. Yum! Rainbow trout cook on a plank. Sushi, leave up to the Pros.

Salmon on the old (presoaked) cedar plank on the grille with homemade raspberry jam spread (before cooking) on top!! Just cook it slow until done to your liking. skin stays on and goes on the plank...nothin' better.
Even the kids love it, not too sweet at all but very tasty.
Grillin' or fryin' any of the above recipes has me hungry now!
Here's how the wife and I do it.
We have an ice cold beer, just like the one in the first picture, and discuss several options on how to prepare the fish differently from the same old, same old.
Then we have another ice cold beer, because we both decided on different ways to cook them so now we need to try and convince the other that my way is best.
Now we have another ice cold beer because we're both stubborn and won't give in to each other on our selection of preparation for the fish.
Next, we have another ice cold beer because now we are arguing about it. This could go on for another couple beers.
We then have a couple more ice cold beers as we "make-up" realizing this is a stupid topic to argue about. We are now 3 sheets to the wind.
We then have a couple more ice cold beers as we decide to cook the fish the same way we always do it.
Best fish you ever ate!!
