Walleye
is named for its eyes. It has a reflective film of pigment covering its eye, helping it see in murky waters. This combined with its razor-sharp teeth make it an effective predator. Walleye is the biggest member of the perch family and is a very common freshwater game fish. They are found throughout most of Canada and the northern United States. Because of their sensitivity to light, walleye dwell in the cloudy water of rivers, streams, lakes, and other region of freshwater. Baby walleye are called “fries.” Although the walleye is not related to the pike, they are sometimes known as “Yellow Pike.”
It seems that walleyes on different regions taste differently. Some people say it tastes like chicken (maybe they were joking!). But a walleye tastes like a fish. It has a mildly fishy flavor. Some people may claim it’s a bit bland and not as good as snapper. But fish meat is not just about the taste. The texture of walleye meat is top-notch!
