Ingredients
-
4 walleye fish fillets
-
½ cup all-purpose flour
-
½ teaspoon garlic powder
-
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
1 pinch salt (Optional)
-
2 large eggs, beaten
-
2 cups finely crushed saltine crackers
-
vegetable oil for frying
-
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Directions
-
Gather the ingredients.
-
Check walleye fillets to ensure all bones and skin have been removed. Cut fillets into manageable pieces, if necessary.
-
Combine flour, garlic powder, pepper, and salt in a shallow bowl. Place beaten eggs in a separate shallow bowl. Place cracker crumbs onto a plate.
-
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large cast iron skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
-
Dip fillets into flour mixture, then dip in beaten egg, and then coat evenly with cracker crumbs; set fillets aside on a plate.
-
Carefully lower 2 fillets into hot oil using tongs; cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; repeat with remaining fillets. Serve with lemon wedges.
Recipe Tip:
To crush saltines, place crackers in a large resealable plastic bag and roll with a rolling pin (or whatever you've got) until a fine bread crumb consistency.
