Walleye

The walleye, also called the walleyed pike, yellow pike, yellow pikeperch or yellow pickerel, is a freshwater perciform fish native to most of Canada and to the Northern United States. It is a North American close relative of the European zander, also known as the pikeperch.

Fried walleye is a favorite in Canada and Minnesota, where it is often served as a sandwich at restaurants and state fairs.

The walleye is a freshwater fish native to most of Canada and the northern United States, and it has been stocked widely for sport elsewhere. It lives in lakes, ponds, and rivers and favors turbid or choppy water, where its strong low-light vision gives it an edge over prey.
