Hello all!

Ever since Hubby's fishing adventures "up north" I've been a big fan of his shore lunch which is the fresh fish fry. After having our kids though those trips have been pretty scarce though. The next thing for anytime is his BAKED CATCH OF THE DAY recipe I've raided his secret collection for you ;) This quick and tasty recipe can be used for any type of fresh fish and happens to be quite delish.

So passing along this keeper to anyone who likes to cook their catch. Any fish will do but we've determined that walleye is the best (even if you cheat and it comes from the local fish counter). Do this up with tater tots and creamed corn on the side and you've pretty much got yourself a baked
shore lunch....minus the shore that is.

ENJOY!

WHEN IS THE THE FISH OFFICIALLY COOKED?

It is very easy to tell when fish is done. All you have to do is break a piece in half and see if it has cooked all the way through. You can tell by the color change. If you have thick pieces, you can watch the color change on the side travel to the middle. Flip and watch the fish cook through the opposite side. You are done when it reaches the middle and it is the same color all the way through. Do not give it an extra minute or two for good measure or you will overcook it.

If you batter the fish before cooking, you will have to sacrifice a piece to test by breaking it in half to check it. Time it so you will know how long to cook the rest. This won't take long. Fish cooks very fast and high heat is fine.
