Been gone a few days walleye fishing on Lake Erie with a great bunch of guys. Three days from 6am till 2pm. There were five guys on our boat – eleven in total. We split our boats’ catch three ways – something like seventy four fish! -Not the limit but still plenty. I have a lot of walleye to prepare.
One great way is walleye ceviche – it is easy and very clean and bright tasting. We made some on the trip and I made some more tonight. Here is the recipe.
Walleye Ceviche
INGREDIENTS
1 lb (500 g) walleye fillet
1 cup (250 ml) lemon juice
2 Tablespoons (30 ml) salt
1 bunch cilantro
1/2 large red onion
2 medium tomatoes
1 jalapeno pepper
METHOD
- Slice fillets into very small pieces.
- Marinate in the lemon juice and salt for at least 4 hours in medium bowl (over night in fridge is good)
- Finely chop all vegetables, and mix in large bowl to make salsa
- Drain fish
- Mix fish with salsa
Eat with corn chips or crackers.
You could do this with any fresh firm fish.
Until next time eat well & keep digging.

I read (somewhere, I can't remember where?), that you can't make ceviche or eat raw any freshwater fish. Is that true? I have been wanting to make it with walleye for a long time but have been intimidated.
