Andrew’s Fish Burgers
This recipe was a close call for the judges. It was barely edged out by the top three winners. Best of all, Andrew is a 7-year old chef-in-training. Way to go Andrew! Any type of fish will work – even salmon – but you want a nice flaky fish to pat your burgers together.

Walleye Fillets and Cheeks in Green Peppercorn Sauce
This simple recipe enhances the flavor of one of the best-tasting fish anywhere. The idea is to cook it quickly while making brown butter in the skillet.

Lakemaid Beer and Walleye
Lakemaid beer is known as the ‘fisherman’s lager’ but of course, any lighter beer will work in this recipe. You can make this a ‘fried’ walleye too by marinating the fish in the beer first, then coating it in breadcrumbs and baking it. Either way, be sure to drink whatever beer you don’t use. Hate…
