What do YOU consider to be the best way to cook walleye?

BEER BATTER FRIED FISH

1 egg

1 c. warm stale beer

1 1/8 tsp. baking powder

1 c. flour

2 tsp. salt

3/4 tsp. pepper

1 tsp. garlic salt

Fish fillets

Mix all ingredients. Wash and dry fish (pat with towel). Cut fillets to desired size. Heat 2 inches of cooking oil in pan. Dip fish pieces in batter; fry briefly in hot oil turning as necessary. Adjust the batter ingredients as needed so it doesn't get too thick or too thin.

My family fishes for walleye constantly. We use a very basic recipe but I love it. Dip in flour, dip in egg, dip in bread crumbs seasoned with salt, pepper and italian seasoning, pan fry in oil. Serve with tartar sauce.

Lately, I've switched the normal bread crumbs up for panko bread crumbs because I like the texture a bit more, but really, it doesn't make much of a difference.
