Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 1 lb walleye, fillets
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon soda water
• 1 cup italian seasoned breadcrumbs, seasoned
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon salt

Recipe

• 1 place the fillets in a bowl with the buttermilk. stir to coat the fillets and allow them to marinate in the refrigerator for an hour.
• 2 in another bowl, blend the egg and soda water together with a whisk.
• 3 pour the buttermilk off the fillets and replace with the egg/water mix. chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes then drain off the liquid.
• 4 in a medium skillet, over medium heat, add the butter and the canola oil.
• 5 dredge a couple of the wet fillets in the bread crumbs and lay them into the hot oil. don't crowd the fillets -- you may wish to fry them in two batches. (if you have to use a little more butter and oil, that's okay).
• 6 fry each fillet 3-4 minutes per side, turning them one time only, until the coating is golden brown.
• 7 when the filets are done frying, lay them out on a couple of paper towels to drain and salt them right away. the thickest part of each fillet should be and flakey inside.
• 8 serve on sandwich buns with tartar sauce or, plated up with home made french fries.
