Walleye from North Dakota

North Dakota’s love affair with walleye truly shines in the humble yet mighty walleye sandwich. While the exact origins of the walleye sandwich remain murky, like the waters of Lake Sakakawea, its popularity is undeniable. A whopping 87% of North Dakotans confess to devouring one at least once a year, with local diners and fish fries proudly touting their secret recipes.

Golden cornmeal-crusted walleye fillets cradled in toasted buns, drizzled with creamy tartar sauce, and crunchy coleslaw are irresistible. Each bite is a symphony of textures and flavors with the fish’s delicate sweetness, the sauce’s tangy zip, and the slaw’s refreshing coolness.
