WALLEYE CHOWDER

Walleye Chowder image

The Walleye is a member of the perch family and the perch is without a doubt the sweetest tasting freshwater fish there is. This recipe is from an old fishing magazine I found years ago and is one of the best fish chowders I've ever eaten. If you love walleye you have to try it.
