I’ve already sent out the challenge to newsletter subscribers and have a few recipes back and one entry below.

Here’s the contest for the general public as well.  Best cooking video for any fish that I sell and mentions WalleyeDirect.com gets a free shipment of any of my fish.

We have our first entry–he obviously didn’t hear the rules as this is for Tilapia and he doesn’t mention my company.

First entry from courtesy of Cooking with Coolio (language definitely not suitable for children)

See if you can top this or use it for inspiration.  (I think Coolio actually ended up with his own show out of this….)

It’s been a while since I’ve done a cooking video and I’m back.  This is a great recipe if you’ve had walleye and other freshwater fish many times and would like to try a new taste.  It is kind of tangy and stays moist.

The video doesn’t have the best sound at first, but at least you can see even a novice (me) make a great meal and the recipe is below.

INGREDIENTS:

1/4 cup orange juice

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 (8 ounce) walleye fillets

DIRECTIONS:

1.  In a large non-reactive dish, mix together the orange juice, soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, garlic, oregano, and pepper. Place the walleye fillets in the marinade and turn to coat. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

2.  Preheat grill for high heat.

3. Lightly oil grill grate. Cook the walleye for 5 to 6 minutes, then turn and baste with the marinade. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or to desired doneness. Discard any remaining marinade.  Alternatively, you can use foil to keep the fillet from sticking the grill and keep the marinade close to the fillet.  Also not necessary to flip the fillet as sometimes they can be difficult.

Lazy fishermen rejoice!  Rapala has released a game for the Nintendo Wii with a fishing rod attachment.

Virtual fishing

I’m thinking this has reduce the people actually buying lures from Rapala but maybe these same people "fishing" from their couch have a need to eat their catch as well.  Time for me to get busy with a partnership agreement.  Or maybe it’s time to get a Wii….

Hey everyone. I get a lot of submissions for recipes from customers so I wanted to have this area be a forum for sharing with others. You can post them here with pics if you have them and this site does get a lot of traffic so others will see your submissions.

thanks,

Walleye are normally pretty elusive, but this particular Walley ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Easy catch

It has never been that easy for me. If you’ve had it that good, please share a story.

Walleye Wager

Notice the box…….

I have my favorite and I’ll also supply walleye for any politicians who want to place bets.

Most of my walleye does come from Canada, but I do have a secret stash of Minnesota walleye as well.

I do sell Northern Pike and Musky which have been known to get big, but here’s an article about trying to find the largest freshwater fish–this happens to be a stingray.

I don’t even have a comment other than “how do I get some?” and “how can I sell this on the site without a liquor license?”
