Walleye Tacos
 


Ingredients:

3/4 cup flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp crushed oregano

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp chili powder

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Salt & pepper as you like

1 egg yolk

4-6 oz beer

Oil for frying

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 tbsp chopped cilantro

1/2 lime

1 ripe avocado

2 cups shredded Lettuce or Cabbage

1 to 1.5 lb walleye fillets

Steamed tortillas

Lime for squeezing



1. Make the batter. In a medium bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, spices, beer, and egg yolk. If the mixture is too thick, add a bit more beer, but don't let it get watery. It should be plenty thick to coat the fish.


2. Cover the batter and let it sit in the fridge for at least 3 hours. You can even let it sit overnight or through the work day.


3. When you are ready to start cooking the fish, heat the oil to 375. Mix the mayo, cilantro, and enough lime juice to make it "saucy." Slice the avocado. Slice the lettuce paper thin. And cut the fish into portions that will fit well in a taco after you fry them.


4. Once the oil is hot, dip the fish in the batter and get it well coated. Cook one to two slices at a time - depending on the size of the fillets. Drop a slice into the oil while the batter is still dripping off and fry it for about 3-5 minutes, turning half way through. While the fish is cooking, go ahead and steam the tortillas.


5. Grab a steamed tortilla, add a piece or two of fish, a couple slices of avocado, sprinkle on some lettuce, add sauce to taste, and just before you eat it, squeeze on some lime juice.  (toppings are your choice, these ingrediantes are from the original receipe....I like to add cheese)


Don't forget to squeeze some fresh lime juice just before you eat them. It changes the whole character. Fresh salsa is a nice topping to consider as well.

 recipe will make about six large tacos. Northern Pike or trout can be substituted, but walleye is the best.

1 Bite Panfish Fingers w/ Seafood Sauce



1 Cup Flour
1 Tbsp Paprika
Salt & Pepper to taste
2 Eggs
2 Cups Crouton or your Fav Bread Crumbs or Tempera Crumbs
Cooking Oil or Wok Oil
All your Left Over Blue Gill, Perch and Crappie Scraps
1 Bottle of your Fav Seafood Sauce (perferably Spicy)


Start off by rounding up all  your scrap pieces from your panfish catches, the pieces either from smaller fish or botched fillet jobs. (Once battered they will look more like chicken fingers or chicken nuggets)

Mix the paprika and salt and pepper in with the Flour, be sure to mix well
Dredge the Fish pieces in the flour mixture then in the egg mixture

If using BreadCrumbs or Tempera Crumbs your good to go, but if using Croutons place them in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to get the desired texture ( I like mine chunky for extra crunch)

lay the egg coated fish pieces in your crumb mixture

Then it's off to the pan..try to use a seasoned oil...Wok Oil is perfect as it is usually seasoned with Ginger and Garlic.. A few spoonfulls of left over Bacon fat also flavors the oil well

Cook fish until golden brown. Plate them with a dish of your favorite seafood sauce and you have the perfect finger food or snack food

My first non-fish receipe on the board...but I had to add it. I saw this the other day and it looked amazing. Im not a Packers fan but if this is what they serve at the tailgate..Im there

Bratwurst Hot Tub

Method: indirect grilling
Serves 4 to 8

8 Johnsonville bratwursts
2 cans pilsner-style beer
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) butter
1 white onion, cut into thick slices, skewered and grilled
For serving:
Hard rolls or a baguette
Mustard
Grilled red peppers
Grilled onions
Sauerkraut


1. Set up your grill for indirect grilling and preheat to medium. This works best in a charcoal grill.

2. Arrange the bratwursts on the grate over the drip pan. Toss the wood chips on the coals, half on each mound of coals. Cover the grill and adjust the vent holes to obtain a temperature of about 350 degrees. Smoke-roast the sausages until golden brown and cooked through, 30 to 40 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, combine the beer, butter and grilled onion slices in a large grill-proof pan large enough to accommodate all the brats (I like to use a large aluminum drip pan.) When the brats are cooked through, transfer them to the beer bath, then put it on the grill.

4. Keep the brats warm in the beer bath as long as you like, replenishing the fire with a couple extract coals on each side if needed to keep it smoldering.

5. Serve the brats as they would in Wisconsin, on hard rolls with yellow ballpark-style mustard, or do them up with brown mustard, grilled onions and peppers and sauerkraut on a cut-up baguette.
