Walleye are Poor Table Fish

[sea nympho]

JMO, but walleye are for those who don't really like to eat fish. They have less than no taste. Their flesh is not firm enough and is stringy. Now before you crucify me understand that I have caught and eaten my share of walleye, fish as fresh as they get in northern canada- accidental catches while fishing for pike & lakers (aka real fish). The list of fish more tasty than walleye (& perch) is long and distinguished, so I will name only name the best of the best: steelhead, lake trout, salmon, catfish (esp. flatheads), northern pike (that's right, PIKE), and burbot. I'm sure I'll catch hell for this, but that's why I made this post.;)

[Can't Touch This]

:yikes: Well, it all depends how you cook it, Salmon and trout are probably better than walleye smoked, but, nothing beats walleye fried on the skillet, IMO. Well, maybe perch, but, nothing else.

I am familiar with different cooking techniques as I'm a professional chef and instructor (just don't want people to think I'm some quack that doesn't know sh%t about cooking). That aside, catfish is better than walleye fried on cast iron, IMHO, of course.

I am pretty sure at this point you've already convinced a few people that you are a quack that doesn't know sh%t about cooking - and I'm wondering if your tastebuds possibly fell out of your mouth or you accidentally swallowed them one night while sleeping!!
:lol:

As far as your "credentials" for being an instructor and 'professional' chef....
Good luck at getting a good following here after a statement like that...........
The fish that are generally reserved for sm0king generally taste like @zz when served fresh like skummy salmon & grEEzErz and the likes of overstuffed rainbow trout. KatfEEsH are bottom feeders , so YOU go ahead & gobble that shagnasty grime right up baby.....

:dizzy:

So if catching hell was your mission - I'm pretty sure you've stirred the pot accordingly.
Either this thread will be moved to soundoff , closed or deleted.....or left to die a quiet death......

[moonphase]

I have to agree with you on the pike they are my favorite!!!!

[RyGuy525]

Pike are good but perch and walleye are as good as they get. I agree with SFW you must be a quake who doesn't know sh&t about cooking. Deep fried walleye is amazing!

[J - Rod]

This will certainly be interesting for sure.

Here's how I rank them:

1) Coho salmon
2) Perch
3) Sunfish
4) Stream Trout
5) King Salmon
6) Pike
7) Walleye
8) Lake Trout
9) Steelhead

I don't eat anything else.

If thats the case, you might want to see what chemicals or waste the walleye are living in that your eating, because you definately haven't eaten normal walleye. Maybe up in canada the term walleye was for their carp:lol: that you ate, as I know it canadians refer to walleye as pickerel, even though there is an actual fish with that name. Try some fried in butter sometime and not in what ever so called chef crap your cooking them in:evil:

Where the fish comes from makes a difference in the quality of fish. A lake Superior laker trout, will taste much better than a lake huron planted lake trout, a northern michigan inland cold water lake pike will taste ALOT different than a saginaw bay pike, and a pacific coast or alaskan salmon will taste different than a michigan salmon. Its all where it comes from. I'm not sure about the flathead catfish, but I wouldn't eat any cats from the sag. river. I grew up eating pike from northern michigan, and will say they taste as good if not better than walleye from the same lake, and lake walleye are better than sag. bay walleye. But when it comes down to it, panfish rule, and bluegills and perch are tops for any fish with stream trout right there too.

[jakeo]

I really cant believe what i read under this title. If walleye is to stringy or no flavor, it must be the way you care for them after you catch them or on how you cook them. As far as tablefare, lake trout over walleye? Im dumbfounded that ANYONE could even say that! Talk about mushy........close to carp in 90 degree weather.
I know this is America where we all have our own opinions BUT, thats got to be written wrong or maybe somebody had 1 to many beverages??
I HONESTLY would be glad to cook you some walleye, perch and even pike and I will see what you have to say then.
BTW............My favorite fish is...............BLUEGILLS!!!!
PLEASE get out and purchase a CO detector!!!L:lol:

[mikey]

Sea nympho,
I agree with you about the bad taste of walleye. If you happen to 'accidentally' catch anymore, feel free to let me know.....I will gladly pick them up and dispose of them for you!!:lol:

[severus]

Interesting opinions here, and each to his own. You should do a survey for MS members to vote on.

Personally, I prefer non-greasy fish with light and white fillets, like walleye, perch, whitefish (delicious - no one mentioned these), and gills.

[walleyeman2006]

walleye and perch are two of the firmest warm water species you can find the ease of cleaning them should tell you that much....lakers are fine fryed or smoked pike are ok if you like bones............................................. ...............i love catfish too if its cleaned right......but theres nothing that hold candle to perch and walleye.....in the salmonoid family except maybe a small coho cooked over apple wood....imo.....nice thread though some ones gotta make a stink at least until we get ice lol............................................... .................................................. .................................................. .now let us pray ice ice ice ice ice ice no more odd threads....ice ice ice lol
and by the way i used to cook upwards of 300 perch dinners a week along with a lot of walleye maybe try cooking them different if walleye is coming out stringy you are over cooking it it should be flaking apart...the only part of a walleye that should be stringy is the cheak and if you have never cooked on or heard of it lol you dont have enough experience cooking walleye yet

Whatcha been smoken?

Maybe some of use should cook for you.:lol:

[trout]

Catfish
Perch
Browns/Steelhead
Walleye

Try cooking the walleye scaled with the skin on if you need more flavor.

[UBDSLO1]

wow!! I had to rub my eyes again, just to make sure what I was reading. I know everyone is different though, but still, walleye is some of the finest table fare you can get. Post #4 makes the most sence to me.:D
Here is how I rate them.

Perch
Walleye
Whitefish
Gills
Alaskan Salmon
small trout

[Chawazz]

Walleye are great table fare. Too say they are not because they don't have much flavor is like saying chicken is poor table fare because it is not have as much flavor as goose :dizzy:

Now, I understand that stronger fish like salmon and catfish can grow on you, but walleye, pike, and perch are all very good mild flavored (low in oils) fish. Learning to prepare and appreciate the subtle flavors makes me question the whole "I'm a chef" thing.

For me, it's hard to list in order. So much depends on preparation, the fish itself (how old, where did it live?). But my favorites are roughly:

Stream trout (maybe because I usually harvest when I'm camping and starving:lol: )
Bluegill
Walleye-Perch-Pike
Salmon (sometimes outstanding, sometimes not)
Catfish
Smallmouth bass (from the right waters)

I guess it's a good thing that I didn't post this thread to "create a following". If anyone needs to see credentials I will glady PM you a copy of my resume and prove that I know more about cooking than most of you, being that it's my profession, and all. That said, SOME posts were actually intelligent (others, not so much) on several good ways to prepare walleye and other species that are as good yet recieve less respect. My point is "don't be afraid of flavor, my man". I'm not really berating the walleye as table fare, but it is highly overrated with so many other yummy critters out there. But my original point still stands, those who prefer walleye/perch/panfish don't really like fish to taste like fish, nothing wrong with that, just an observation. But I am dissappointed at some people's concieted and rude responses, no need for anyone to feel threatened or insulted. You know what they say about opinions...

Thats funny.

[Slick fishing]

I have to say catfish is really good from ponds from down south but I have never ate any from the Saint Clair river but I have thought about it.. I will say that sturgeon was mighty tasty that IFN had at that one smelt dipping party a few years ago.. But I think my main table fare will continue to be walleye, I would love to get my fishing pole on some white fish I hear thats good, I wonder if I can catch them on Gulp:lol: Cya Slick

[hitechman]

I am pretty sure at this point you've already convinced a few people that you are a quack...... KatfEEsH are bottom feeders , so YOU go ahead & gobble that shagnasty grime right up baby.....

I would rate flathead catfish number 1 on my list of favorites (my wife as well). OK, I fish on the bottom for them, but with live (and large) minnows. I believe that makes them predators and not scavengers. Do they eat dead "stuff" off the bottom...probably. I catch most of my perch off from "dead" stuff too..does that make perch bottom feeders?

BTW...whitefish, perch, burbot, and walleye are number 2, 3, 4, and 5 on my list of favorites in that order. I wouldn't turn any of them down if cooked correctly. How many of you have ever tasted boiled whitefish? How many of you have eaten flathead cats?

Just MHO, and I an entitled to it just as much as you are entitled to yours.

I'm sure at the ripe old age of 32 this man obviously has the world by the b@LLz and Emeril Lagasse has NOTHING on this "master chef"....
:rolleyes:

If you can go back & read you own post with a subjective mind , as if someone else had written it - you'd probably have about the same response as I or others have had. You said you made this post to catch hell.... and now that you're getting what you asked for - you don't like it??
Be careful what you wish for - you just may get it.
;)

I did a fish fry last week @ work & I cooked up 11.5LBs of "Alaska Pollock" the cheapest fish you can buy using an electric turkey fryer and Aunt Jemima's Cornmeal Mix adding nothing but onion powder , garlic powder black & cayenne pepper and some cheap seasoning salt ... then I rolled & dropped 'em. Even a girl that doesn't like fish said it was good as well as several folks saying that was the best fish they'd ever had. NOT ONE person said it wasn't good. When I turned 18 my first fulltime job was @ the (now defunct) Sveden House in GR - I started washing pot & pans and moved up thru the "ranks" of the kitchen to be trained by "Neil" a 40-something yr. old that HAD a 'pedirgee' in the culinary arts and always told me how important "appearance" is... some of the other cooks berated him and told him that even if his food looked good it still tasted like sh%t.....



They were right. As far as "taste" goes - it is all subjective... and since you PM'd me during this post being made I'll further respond by saying that I do NOT defend walleyes like they are my own children NOR am I one of the "core walleye-dudes" on this site... There are countless other members here that could hand me my @zz on ony given day fishing along side of them , can I hold my own?? YES - do I think I'm "all that"?? NO. I am a multi-species angler that enjoys the challenge of locating , figuring , and triggering walleyes to bite - and think they are a challenging gamefish to capture. A "thinking man's fish" , as far as what I like to eat goes - I don't like pike unless it's sm0ked , same with steel , chinook or coho . To say that walleye isn't firm is plain asinine - they are ONE of the firmest fleshed fish in north america. I enjoy Perch , Walleye , Bluegill and Whitefish (YES Ken VERY delicious) Brook Trout and the smallest Browns & 'Bows. I adore FRESH Smelt and generally will not eat frozen B/C it just doesn't taste the same. I do like Pollock , ocean perch (which my wife detests) , Orange Roughy , Atlantic Cod , Haddock and don't get me started on the crustaceans of the deep.

Brent - you can catch ANYTHING on GuLP!

Guys that know me - know I can cook like a m0f0 , but do I need to prove that to you?? NO. I am Iron Chef Sm@rt Old B@st@rd and I do NOT have any credentials other than home-ec and I spent a year or so @ the Sveden House ... When there's a pig to be roasted or fish to be fried...jerky to be sm0ked , pickles to be packed , salsa to be cooked down....well I guess you could just ask my friends what they think.... I ain't out to make any enemies - but I'm not here to listen to hogwash from some kid that thinks he knows all there is about cooking 'cuz he has a hunk of paper.... besides if I did do a cook-off against you - were would you end up?? I know the guys on this site would rib you until hell won't have it....
Sometime we all say stupid things and it takes a real man to admit when you've made a mistake... Walleye is a deleicate , mild , firm , flavorful fish that millions of folks enjoy immensely and to go on a public forum and tell the world they are "full of sh%t" as you so eloquently put it.... was a mistake , and I was NOT the one that make this mistake....
QUACK !! QUACK !!!!!

WOW:yikes: SFW1969 AKA Robert you sure can type allot, to bad I have a short attention span :lol: I grew up on cornmeal battered Lake Saint Clair perch GOOD STUFF get back to the subject at hand..

We have a mom and pop resturant near by that makes a awesome Orange roughy love it and I tell you what if it comes from the ocean I seem to love it as well crustaceans are awesome food..

This summer I promise to catch some catfish from the river and give it a try, I have all the gear ready to go for muskie,catfish, sturgeon, walleye of course, salmon I pretty much have given up on with the lack of them in Huron anymore so I dont spend much time on them anymore.. I wish I was retired because then I could go after all of them there fish, so many fish so little time..

Here some thing you havent heard much about eating muskie my dad say they taste good but he also likes to eat lake Huron lake trout so I dont know,:lol: anyone ever eat a muskie? Cya Slick

[fish eater]

Great post Robert aka SFW. I agree with everything stated, except the part about your cooking since I haven't experienced it personnally, but it sounds like you know your stuff.

Sea Nympho, you sure you don't want to change your name to Sea Psycho? Cuz that's what you sound like saying things like Walleye are stringy.:confused: :coco: Where did you come from? And are you 100% sure you know what a Walleye is? Every Walleye angler from novice to expert knows that a Walleye has firm, flaky, white filets. And along with Cod, Perch (Fresh and Saltwater) Walleye are one of the most popular and revered fishes in any restaurant. So many millions of us that know Walleye must be wrong, and you know more than us.:rolleyes: What was the point of your post anyway? Are you just bored? What's next? Your going to tell us that corn is purple?:dizzy:

SFW1960, please speak up as I cannot hear you from your high horse. You must think you sit on the almighty throne of objectivity. If you would have really read my original post, you would see that twice I made it clear that it it was my OPINION and I NEVER "eloquenly said" anything resembling "folks wer full of sh^t" for liking walleye. I see my thread has infuriated you, just know that your ranting & raving has far surpassed my original post in terms of sheer comedy factor. YOU CRACK ME UP:lol: :lol: :lol: ! Rest assured if and when I make a mistake, I will own up to it - but in this case I was representing my opinions and experience, and I made that clear from the get go. Public forums like this are entirely intended for the purpose in which I used it. Are you saying that anyone expressing a viewpoint different than you should find another forum? Give us a break. Yes I fully intended folks to disagree with me. But you should just state that you disagree, outline the facts that support your case, and move on with your life. But you personally insulted me and talked down to me, to which I say "whatever, dude". Actually I get a kick out of guys like you talking down to me, makes me double-over from laugter-please wait while I catch my breath. I challenged you to a cooking duel because you insulted my abilities as a chef. Are you yellow? You should be the one to admit you're wrong for all your ranting and raving and disrespect, your general attitude as well puting words in my mouth. I never implied that I think I know everything about cooking or fishing, or anything else, for that matter. What I said is walleye is very delicate and it suits the pallets of those who do not prefer a strong fish taste (like trout). But I'm not gonna sit here and be lectured by someone who thinks he is better than me becasue he's older. Your opinions wouldn't weigh any more to me than anyone else if you were 100 years old, trained in fishing by Buck Perry and cooking by Georges Auguste Escoffier. Like I said, you know what they say about opinions...;)

[Cpt.Chaos]

JMO, but walleye are for those who don't really like to eat fish. They have less than no taste. Their flesh is not firm enough and is stringy. Now before you crucify me understand that I have caught and eaten my share of walleye, fish as fresh as they get in northern canada- accidental catches while fishing for pike & lakers (aka real fish). The list of fish more tasty than walleye (& perch) is long and distinguished, so I will name only name the best of the best: steelhead, lake trout, salmon, catfish (esp. flatheads), northern pike (that's right, PIKE), and burbot.

I expected people to disagree with me and offer diffeent viewpoints, that's the reason I made the post. But for some folks to outright attack me is uncivilized and quite frankly adolescent. These guys started name calling, and so on, but really it doesn't fade me. I am getting a big kick out of seeing others' true colors shine.

So mods don't shut it down on my behalf, I'm quite capable of defending my viewpoints without resorting to grade school antics.

In retrospect, however, my thread title could have been more appropriately labeled "Fish more yummy than walleye". But I knew "walleye are poor table fish" would get people to look at what I had to say about other fish being just as delicious.

I made some suggestion that you were a "master chef" , which is a name I called you....
"QUACK !! QUACK !!!!!" is a term YOU used to "defend" your own POV....
I guess this is likened to girls using the "b" word on each other - then it's is deemed "ok" ; but when a man does it...WATCH OUT. So this covers the "fair use policy"....

Either this thread will be moved to soundoff , closed or deleted.....or left to die a quiet death...... It's POINTLESS , in case you did not yet notice. I have made a few points that you simply cannot disagree with , well you can - but all the other site members are calling you out on it... name calling or not.

If Mike chooses to close this thread - there'll be nobody surprised. It's no different that someone being escorted from a bar when they've had enough to drink.
You can ask the guys that really know me if I'm up on the high horse you suggest I am , or if I'm about as down to earth as they come....and there will NEVER be anything wrong with being objective. EVER.

I am far from infuriated - and you have no right saying I am as you do NOT know me.... it's amazing how some folks read the writings of an individual for a few months & feel they "know" them! Having you say : "I know you're one of the core walleye-dudes on this site" further emphasizes that you have no clue knowing me or who I am . This is my last post to this thread because the other guys are doing just fine telling you what kind of weight your "opinion" on fish flavors & "cooking skills" carries HERE.

You sure have a way of twisting things. My use of the word "my restaurant", and "my post" were not meant as qualitative possesives. You know what I meant, as does everyone else. I have taken no stabs at you. You did at me, however, remember?. And I made no presumptions of you personally other that I've noticed you do well fishing for walleyes (which was actually a compliment) You presume because I am 32yo and you are older that I know less. See! YOU presume to know ME. Again you are putting words in my mouth, I never labled it an arguement. I did, however, agree with someone's post that some members were not keeping up the spirit of dialogue. I am not here to make enemies, as I've said, but you've really just turned this into a crusade against a guy who states his opinion. And I've seen no points you have made that I cannot refute, care to list them? And if I've said you are on a high horse, it is only bacause of what you've said and how you've said it here in response to my posts. And some of "the other guys on this site" have NOT aligned with you, in fact.

no they are differant fish. my list goes perch, walleye, blue gill, pike, catfish, then the rest. thats pretty funny that you think a lot of us dont like the taste of fish:lol: anyway you should try some blue gill scaled, gut and gilled, and fried in a pan with a light coating of flower. DELICIOUS! also my friend and i made some walleye before on the grill before that turned out really good with lots of flavor. ill try to get the recipe i know you wrap the whole fish in aluminum foil and you cook it in some kind of hot sauce.

Professionally prepared Fillet-O-fish sandwich anyone?
Would you like fries with that?
