    This recipe was fantastic! The pecan crust was perfectly crunchy, and the walleye was so moist and flavorful. My family loved it!

  • Rozella Macejkovic

    Easy to follow and delicious! I added a little lemon zest to the pecan meal for extra brightness, and it was a hit!

  • Kole Schmeler

    I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of fish, but I'm so glad I did! The pecan crust masked the fishy flavor, and the spices added a nice kick. I'll definitely be making this again.
