Recipes

Welcome to the Recipe Locker—where fresh catches meet hungry kitchens. Whether you’ve got a walleye dish that steals the show, a perch fry that brings the neighbors running, or a “secret family recipe” that probably isn’t so secret anymore… we want it.

This page is all about sharing the best ways to turn a day on the water into something worth bragging about at the dinner table. Simple, fancy, deep-fried, grilled, or “we tried something and it actually worked”—if it tastes good, it belongs here.

Drop your recipe below, and help us prove that the only thing better than catching fish on Lake Erie… is eating it.

Watermelon Salsa Fish Tacos

here is a recipe to send your next fish taco meal into the stratosphere! I prefer grilled walleye backstraps, but it also goes great with fried.

WATERMELON SALSA

• 4 cups diced Watermelon

• 1/2 cup diced red onion

• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

• 2 - 3 diced jalapeno (deseeded)

• Zest and juice from 1 lime

• Pinch of salt & pepper

*measurements are approximates

Mix diced melon, onion, cilantro, jalapeno, lime zest, salt & pepper and lime juice in a bowl. Adjust to taste as desired. Serve chilleed. Serve with chips or on fresh greens or in fish tacos

Enjoy!
