About the dish

Walleye sandwich is a classic American fish sandwich consisting of a cracker-coated, deep-fried walleye fillet that's served on a hoagie or kaiser roll and topped with tomatoes, lettuce, and tartar sauce. The walleye has been Minnesota's official state fish since 1965, which is the reason why this sandwich can be found on the menus of most Minnesota eateries. It's recommended to serve this sandwich with a side of lemon wedges, onion rings, french fries, and a cold bottle of beer on the side.
