Walleye Wings

Well, I have heard about the walleye wings for a while now and finally decided to give them a try. For those who have never heard of them, it is the " V " under the gill plate that is normally tossed out with the head after you fillet the fish. I really didn't expect them to be all that great but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised! I battered them up in golden dip through them in the fryer and was treated to a sweet tasting firm white meat that I had to eat like a large chicken wing. A lot more meat than I expected too! The bones are larger and somewhat flat and easy to pull out as you eat them. With the long drive for me up to the lake, I was pretty happy to get a couple of extra meals out of the cheeks and wings. I'm sure a bunch of you have been using the cheeks and wings but I wanted to mention it for those who have never tried it. What are some of your favorite recipes for you who are wing eaters?

They are definitely worth removing for a good meal.. walleye shrimp..

I make them for parties just like hot buffalo chicken wings. People love them the fins are like chips if you fry long enough.

Lol.....I don't think my wife would fry them if they had the fins still on. I cut them off for a nice neat looking wishbone shaped "wing"
