Deep Fried Pickerel

[CDN Smoker]

Some time ago I asked for ideas on cooking Pickerel. The one that stood out was Devo's.

Ok deep fried Pickerel wrapped in cream cheese, kinda like if you wrap any thing in bacon it's gonna be good

I've never thought of trying cream cheese with fried fish. Sounds interesting. I know pickerel is somehow related to pike, but is the flavor like a pike or more like a walleye? Or something else?

i like deep fried anything.  cream cheese is different.  i bet they were really good.  it sounds great.  never heard of pickerel before.  would love to try it.

OH I would love to try that CDN!!! When I was 13 my cousin's uncle took us both to Whitefish Falls, Canada on the North Channel for two weeks of fishing. We ate a lot of pike, (pickerel) and canned pork and beans. My cousins Uncle was not a great cook but we ate all meals cooked by him on a pot belly wood stove. The second week we told him we were sick of fish, he got a jar of strawberry jam out and some bread and said here make a fish sandwich. It was good! Don

Looks excellent Drew! I bet the cream cheese in the fish tasted fabulous!  Shore lunch....where's the cooler of beverages?

Actually we call the fish Pickerel and you folks call it Walleye.

I was sure I have a shot of the batter but I guess I didn't. Non of the cream cheese so it worked out well. My wife was looking at me like I was crazy

Thanks to Devo again for the idea

Well that's good news - walleye is the fish we fish at "our" lake (Lake of the Woods.) I've done a quick search for a recipe for this from Devo - haven't found it. Do you have the link? Were they battered after rolling?

Thanks!

All I did was take a glob of cream cheese and place it on the filet. Roll and hold with a tooth pick. Press the cheese from both side so it is even. I used a package English style fish batter.

Coat in the batter and drop in the oil. Devo never gave a reciepe just the idea

Sounds excellent. If the ice is out, we will be at the lake for Memorial Day - look forward to trying this! Thanks!

And that is how we do it my friend. Nothing fancy, just good eats. Glad you liked it.

Sometimes the easiest recipes can be the best.
