                                                                  Grilled Walleye Fillets

                                      1 or 2 walleye fillets cut in 1" pc's                 1 medium onion
                                      lemon pepper seasoning                               melted butter
                                      paprika                                                           cheddar cheese - shredded

                                  Spread a layer of aluminum foil over the grill. Spray with cooking spray.
                                  Chop onion and spread thin layer over foil. Lay boneless walleye fillets
                                  over onions. Sprinkle with Lemon Pepper and Paprika to taste. Brush
                                  with melted butter and grill till done. Spread a thin layer of shredded
                                  Cheddar Cheese over fish and allow to melt before serving.

                          For a tasty variation, substitute Lawry’s seasoning for the Lemon Pepper and Paprika.
                          If broiling, add most of the chopped onions on top of the fish instead of under the fillets.
                                                     Then broil on low setting for about 15-20 mins.

                                    Sprinkle cheese on top immediately after removing from the broiler.
                                                                  Fish Chowder

                                                 4 cups diced walleye or crappie fillets
                                                
                                                 2 cups diced carrots        1 can cream of celery soup 10-12o
                                                 4 cups diced potato's      1 can cream of mushroom soup 10-12 oz
                                                 2 cups diced celery         1 large onion - chopped                 
                                                 Sargento Double Cheddar shredded cheese
                                                (Sargento double cheddar is a blend of sharp and mild cheddar)

Add salt, pepper and a small amount of water to the vegetables and cook until done. (about 30-50 minutes)
Chop finely the leaf portion from a head of celery and add with veggies. This will add quite a bit to the flavor.
Add the two cans of cream soup and any desired spices. (dill weed and thyme both go well in this recipe) Bring to a boil, then add fish. Reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until fish is flaky - about 20 to 30 minutes. Add shredded cheese. (The more you add, the thicker it will be) Stir in the cheese and serve.

Beer Batter For Frying Fish

3 TBS melted butter      1/4-cup domestic beer
1/4 cup flour                   1 egg
1/4-cup cornstarch         salt to taste

Beat egg yolk. Add beer and melted butter, mix. Add flour, salt, and cornstarch. Beat egg whites until peaks form, but not dry. Add to mixture.  Dip fish in batter and fry in hot oil. This batter may also be used for shrimp and chicken. If batter comes out to thin, add a dash more cornstarch and flour. If to thick, add more beer.
Believe it or not, the best beers for this batter are the cheap domestic brands like Papst, Old Milwaukee, Blatz, Old Style and others like them. (What else would you use Old Style for anyway!)

     Broiled Walleye with Salsa and Peppers

                                                2 to 3 boneless walleye fillets cut into 2" piece's
                                                1 large green, red, orange and yellow bell pepper (4 total)
                                                1 medium onion       
                                               1 jar of your favorite salsa
                                           
Chop peppers and onion. Spray glass baking dish and add peppers and onion.

Broil on low for approximately 15 minutes. Remove and pour into another bowl. Add fish to bottom of glass baking dish. Pour broiled peppers and onions over the fish. Pour salsa over the top evenly. Broil on low for another 10 to 15 minutes. Turn off broiler and finish by baking at 400 degrees until the juice's are bubbling in the bottom of the glass baking dish.

Serve over rice or noodles!  It's one of our favorites.

Beer Battered Bluegills

This recipe will serve 2-4 people

                                                                                 Ingredients
                                                      10-15 bluegills·1/2 Tbsp Salt
                                                             1/4 tbsp Pepper·       1/4 Tbsp Paprika·
                                                     1 Cup Flour·     4 Cups Peanut oil  
                                                                   One can of Miller Lite Beer·

Start by filleting your bluegills on the Fillet King, which is a unique fillet and cutting board and then washing the cleaned fish in cold water.  Now In a bowl add the flour, salt, pepper, paprika and 1/2 cup of beer. For the beer I recommend using something light like Miller Lite. Mix the ingredients and add more of the beer until you have a pancake like batter. Pour the peanut oil in a deep well pan, and heat on high. Dip the fillets in the batter until they are coated evenly, and drop the coated fillets into the hot oil, which is at least 375 degrees. Cook for 3-4 minutes a side.

AXL'S Pickled Eggs

I thought I would kick it up a bit for you and share Axl’s world famous pickled eggs. The jar always comes home from a party, a fishing trip , or deer camp empty!!
His pickled eggs are a great dish served anywhere, and this is a great recipe for you to try and to savor.

For this authentic recipe you will need the following ingredients:
                                                   1 gallon glass jar
3 - dozen of medium eggs preferably about a week old
      8 cups of vinegar
             2 cups of water
             4-8 TBS sugar depends on how sweet you like it
             2 TBS of salt (optional)
             Medium yellow onions sliced to taste
      Pickling spice optional

Boil your eggs
1.  Put the eggs in a LG pot that will hold 3 doz. eggs.  Or boil a dozen at a time.
2.  Fill pot with water. Make sure that the tops of the eggs are covered by at least one inch and  are not stacked too deep.
3.  Bring eggs in water to a rolling boil.
4.  Reduce heat to med to  low heat and boil for about 15 minutes or boil to your favorite method.
5.  Drain the pot.
6.  Cool eggs immediately by running cold water over them or putting  eggs in iced water.
7.  Crack and peel the eggs under very cold running water, starting by cracking the large (air pocket) end, then taking off the largest pieces first. Lowering the eggs' temperature keeps the shells from sticking, and prevents the greenish tinge sometimes seen on hard-boiled eggs. (The greenish tinge doesn't affect taste or safety.)
8.  In another Lg pot combine the vinegar, water, salt, pickling spice, and sugar then bring the brine to a boil . Approx 10 -15 mins. and then shut off. Cool the brine completely.
9.  Now you will want to place a layer of sliced onions on the bottom of the jar, and then a layer of eggs. Repeat this process until you run out of eggs and finish it with a layer of onions.Now you’ll want to pour the cooled brine over the eggs right to the top of the jar. Place lid on jar and refrigerate for at least 3 days, and your eggs will know be pickled. 
10. You will not be able to eat JUST ONE!!!
11. Serve with salt/pepper and even your favorite hot sauce for an added kick.

Prime Rib, Perfectly Medium-Rare,

This is a nightly special on Friday and Saturday nights in supper clubs and taverns throughout Wisconsin.  You can use this method at home to get a prime rib roast that is nearly perfect medium-rare roast, which is tender, juicy, and full of flavor.  This is one of our favorites served at home. You can also serve this alone or make it your surf and turf night. Check out the recipe page for some ideas on your favorite surf….

You will need the following ingredients:

Beef Rib Roast, bones in, any size (I generally use a 4-6 pound roast).
Chopped Garlic,                dried thyme
fresh ground pepper,          Sliced yellow onions
dried rosemary,     
Start by Rubbing the fresh chopped garlic, fresh ground pepper, dried rosemary and dried thyme to taste into the fat at the top of the roast.  Lay sliced onions on top.  Let stand at room temperature 1 hour.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.  Place roast, fat side up, in a shallow roasting pan.  Do not cover and do not add liquid. Put your roast in the oven for one hour.  Turn the oven off.  Now this is IMPORTANT.  Do not open the oven, not even for 1 second.  Wait 30-60 minutes then Turn oven on again to 375 degrees and roast the beef for an additional 30-40 minutes.  Remove the roast from the oven and let rest 15-20 minutes before carving.  Slice into the roast’s thick slabs slice to your desired thickness.  Serve with sauteed mushrooms, baked potato, your favorite soup and salad, and homemade bread for a true Wisconsin gourmet feast.
