Wild Lake Erie Pickerel/Walleye - packaged and frozen in approx. 1lb packages.

The flavour is sweet and mild and is great for people who are looking for a fish without that “fishy taste”. Pickerel is wonderful pan-fried or deep-fried with a crispy breading or batter. Pickerel is also nice baked and is also firm enough to BBQ.
