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.
