You love walleye? Wait until you try walleye cheeks! They are sweet, delicate, and when pan-seared, they just melt in your mouth.

Walleye's buttery texture and delicate sweetness makes it one of the most popular freshwater fishes. Walleye is so popular that it is the official state fish of Minnesota, South Dakota, and Vermont. Although it is often called "walleye pike," it is actually a member of the perch family.

Seafood Watch rates walleye a "Good Alternative." Higher mercury level. Kosher.
