LET’S TACO-BOUT IT.
From beef tacos to fish tacos, y’all know Mexican is our favorite. These grilled walleye fish tacos do not disappoint. Here we go. First thing, you need to debone your walleye. Tips for deboning the walleye, clean the fillets first. Place knife above ribs and move along, you will feel the bones and you just need to cut through them. Once the rib bone is off, clean it up a little bit. Now run your knife over the fillet and feel for any other bones that may of been left behind. The last thing you want, is to choke on a fish bone. Once that is complete, pat your walleye fillets dry.
Time to batter these fish. Place the walleye fillets into flour, then the egg wash and last the breadcrumbs. Make sure to heavily coat them. Set on a tray and get ready for grilling. Set your cast iron pan onto the grill, add in vegetable oil and bring to 350-375 degrees. Place your battered fish into the oil, flipping over halfway. Remove the fish from the oil when they are golden brown (about 4-7 minutes) or have an internal temp of 145 degrees. **Deep frying fish can be quite simple but different types of fish can have varying cook times.
