first time I ate walleye 40 years ago it was drakes mixed with stale beer sticks better without the carbonation dry the fillets by lining them on a cookie sheet lined with paper towels then lay perch on the towels another layer of towels then fillets etc. still taste great that way and easy for a crowd of hungry friends and family. we like peanut oil but we use all oils due to the expense of peanut oil. then no 2 recipe is just as good but a lot more work so I usually use this for me wife and kids take Kroger brand wheat crackers put in food processor until very fine almost a powder mix with garlic powder and lawrys season salt and black pepper dredge in flower then egg beaters or scramble eggs until mixed well then dredge in cracker crumb mixture fry in cast iron skillet with real lard until golden brown. this is great the fillets dont curl up and stay as big as when you put them in the skillet got this recipe from a buddy who owened a resturant and they look great and big on the plate. served with steak fries and homemade cole slaw which is a head of grated cabbage 1 carrot hellmans mayo teaspoon of sugar and apple cider vinegar to taste with a tomatoe cut up in small cubes and salt and pepper to taste mix well and chill for a couple hours. served with homemade tartar sauce which is cup of hellmans, pickle relish, fresh lemon zest, just a little it can get strong with just enough yellow musterd to change color. in cracker crumbs it taste great cold and on buns with a slice of cheese and tarter sauce with home made hot fresh potatoe chips which is thin sliced potatoes in deep fryer secret is to dont overload chips in fryer and serve with pickles. and slaw a lot of people will say tomatoes in cole slaw but try it tomatoes and mayo make a great sandwich everybody likes it and i get a lot of request to make my slaw now im hungry for a fish dinner
