About Walleye

Walleye is a freshwater fish used as food. Its uncooked flesh is light-coloured and relatively lean; when cooked, it is mild in flavour and separates into tender flakes.

It is commonly sold as fillets, either fresh or frozen, and is also prepared whole. Cooking methods such as baking, pan-frying, and grilling affect moisture and texture, so the name alone does not describe a single finished form or preparation.
