Down Home Style Walleye Jambalaya
It's not Jambalaya unless it’s cooked in a cast iron pot or Dutch oven.
Here are the ingredients you will need for this very flavorful entrée
Take your walleye fillets and cut into 1-inch pieces. In a cast iron pot cook the bacon until crisp then add your onion, green pepper, garlic, and cook until tender. Dissolve the bouillon cube in 1 cup of boiling water or you can add your chicken stock and then combine all ingredients together and pour mixture into a well-greased 2-quart Dutch oven. Cover and bake at 350 degrees, for 50 to 60 minutes or until the rice is tender and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Beer Batter For Frying Fish
Beat egg yolk. Add beer and melted butter, mix. Add flour, salt, and cornstarch. Beat egg whites until peaks form, but not dry. Add to mixture. Dip fish in batter and fry in hot oil. This batter may also be used for shrimp and chicken. If batter comes out to thin, add a dash more cornstarch and flour. If to thick, add more beer. Believe it or not, the best beers for this batter are the cheap domestic brands like Papst, Old Milwaukee, Blatz, Old Style and others like them. (What else would you use Old Style for anyway!)
Italian-Style Walleye
Place the walleye fillets in a greased shallow 3-qt. or 13-in. x 9-in baking dish. Combine the tomato sauce, parsley, Italian seasoning, basil, salt and pepper, and pour over fish fillets.

Ingredients
Start by filleting your bluegills on the Fillet King, which is a unique fillet and cutting board and then washing the cleaned fish in cold water. Now In a bowl add the flour, salt, pepper, paprika and 1/2 cup of beer. For the beer I recommend using something light like Miller Lite. Mix the ingredients and add more of the beer until you have a pancake like batter. Pour the peanut oil in a deep well pan, and heat on high. Dip the fillets in the batter until they are coated evenly, and drop the coated fillets into the hot oil, which is at least 375 degrees.

Dip the perch fillets in the milk/egg mixture; then roll filets in the crushed tortilla chips. Place the perch fillets in a lightly greased baking dish and sprinkle with remaining crushed chips. Bake for about 7-8 minutes or until the perch flakes with a fork. Take out of the oven and sprinkle cheese on top of the perch fillets. Continue baking the perch for another 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is melted. Remove from oven, and place the fillets on top of the romaine lettuce and cover with a little salsa.
Cocktail Style Yellow Perch,
Start by boiling some water with some salt and lemon in a 3-quart pan. Then add to your boil, now this is optional you can also add a pk of shrimp seasoning and or Cajun seasoning to your boiling water.

Remove the perch and drop the perch pieces into some iced water. Now when your perch has cooled completely, drain and serve with cocktail sauce, as you would shrimp.

AXL'S Pickled Eggs
For this authentic recipe you will need the following ingredients:
Boil your eggs
1. Put the eggs in a LG pot that will hold 3 doz. eggs. Or boil a dozen at a time.
2. Fill pot with water. Make sure that the tops of the eggs are covered by at least one inch and are not stacked too deep.
3. Bring eggs in water to a rolling boil.
5. Drain the pot.
6. Cool eggs immediately by running cold water over them or putting eggs in iced water.
7. Crack and peel the eggs under very cold running water, starting by cracking the large (air pocket) end, then taking off the largest pieces first. Lowering the eggs' temperature keeps the shells from sticking, and prevents the greenish tinge sometimes seen on hard-boiled eggs. (The greenish tinge doesn't affect taste or safety.)
8. In another Lg pot combine the vinegar, water, salt, pickling spice, and sugar then bring the brine to a boil . Approx 10 -15 mins. and then shut off. Cool the brine completely.
9. Now you will want to place a layer of sliced onions on the bottom of the jar, and then a layer of eggs. Repeat this process until you run out of eggs and finish it with a layer of onions.Now you’ll want to pour the cooled brine over the eggs right to the top of the jar. Place lid on jar and refrigerate for at least 3 days, and your eggs will now be pickled.
10. You will not be able to eat JUST ONE!!!
11. Serve with salt/pepper and even your favorite hot sauce for an added kick.
