Potato flakes make a golden coating for these fish fillets, which are a breeze to fry on the stovetop. —Sondra Ostheimer, Boscobel, Wisconsin

Very nice flavor

I never have a chance to have walleye (I wish I did) but I think this recipe will go well with Pike or white perch. Going to try it the next time I get some. In the mean time I am going to try Haddock. Sounds good.

I have been eating this recipe since I was a girl. My dad was the fish cook in the family and he used potato flakes for the coating with the addition of various herb, to change up the flavor occasionaly. These days there are so many different flavors of potato flakes, it make it easy to customize this dish. But walleye really is the best fish to use.

I would use flavored potato flakes if I make it again.

Have been making this recipe for years. Was in a magazine a few years ago. So easy to make and very tasty. Walleye isn't available in my area but any firm white fish works well. You do have to season the flour well. With a drizzle of lemon after cooking, delish!

Being from "Walleye Country" I had to try this recipe. It is by far my favorite way to fix Walleye. I sometimes use Cayenne Pepper instead of Paprika. It looks just like the picture every time and tastes great!
