Click to zoomPickerel Fillet (Fresh - Wild)
Pickerel — what most of Canada calls walleye — is a sweet, fine-flaked freshwater fish with pearly white flesh and a clean, delicate flavour. It is a favourite with anyone who finds ocean fish too strong, and it needs little more than butter and a hot pan. It comes in fresh and is cut to order at the counter, weighed in front of you and wrapped while you wait. Tell us how you are cooking it and we will portion the fillets to match. Pan-fry it gently in butter until the flesh turns opaque and flakes at the touch, or dust it in flour and crisp it the traditional shore-lunch way. It cooks quickly, so keep the heat moderate and pull it the moment it is done. Pickerel is a freshwater fish from cold northern lakes, so supply depends on the fishery — when it is on the counter, it is worth taking home. Ask us what came in and we will tell you honestly.
