About Walleye

Walleye is a freshwater fish prized for its mild, flaky texture and is widely enjoyed in North American cuisine, particularly in the Midwest. Rich in high-quality protein, walleye is also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. It's naturally low in calories and saturated fat, making it an excellent choice for balanced diets. Walleye provides essential nutrients such as vitamin D, B vitamins, and minerals like phosphorus and selenium, which contribute to bone health and immune function. Popular in dishes like pan-fried fillets and fish tacos, its delicate flavor pairs well with a variety of seasonings. However, consumers should be mindful of preparation methods, as deep-frying or heavy sauces can add unhealthy fats and calories. Sustainable sourcing is also recommended to protect wild fish populations and aquatic ecosystems.
