Decided to do up another batch of smoked walleye. Went over pretty good with the crew before.
Brined up and placed on racks. 1st pic racked turned out blurry, but got while in smoker

Not sure if you are serious or not, but in case yes, Walleye is a northern fish. To me it is one of the best tasting fish there is. Although the smoked walleye look tantalizing to me, I would go for them fried up in a heart beat!

Walleye is not common where I come from, but I've caught a Sauger (a close relative) around these parts. It was very tasty dipped in some cornmeal and fried!

I agree. Walleye is the best tasting fish from what I tried here in pa. Yours looks great.

Aye... I'm originally from Cameron Parish Louisiana. No Walleye down there. My first experience with them was when I did a fly in trip to God's Lake Manitoba many years ago. Caught lots of them and the guide would fry them up for shore lunches. Then years later when I moved to Illinois, I would go to northern Wi. fishing for them.
Yes, saugers are related. Never caught one of those that I'm aware of.
 
Wow!!
Wish I had access to that many nice size Walleyes!!
Nice Job!
Looks Awesome!!

Nice! Where you getting that many walleye?
I had a couple of pkg from late season ice fishing, to go with a couple fish this past week that I hooked up on.
they look tasty, must have been some good size walleye's look like some big fillets
They were 17" - 20" fish
Been thinking about going for some walleye. Those look prescription.

What was your brine recipe?

Got to thank Bearcarver for his "smoked salmon recipe", have used it before with same excellent results.

Thanks all for the likes...
 
Don't they dry up?

I keep planning for a walleye smoke then i end up pan frying them.

P.s. for folks not familiar with walleye - also called pickerel. Imo best white fish are walleye and halibut.Walleye sells for half the price of halibut here; guess which one i eat more often.

I'm with you... if I get my hands on some walleye, they are dipped in cornmeal/flour/seasoning and pan fried. After walleye, good wild caught catfish is my go to fish!
 
Could be a area thing on fish names. Down south where I'm from, Crappie are called White perch and up here in the north they are called crappie. When I first moved to Illinois and got into a bunch of crappie, the guy I was fishing with was making fun of me because I called them white perch.
