dunnhuntin 9 Report post Posted December 10, 2017 I have two ways I have done bacon wrapped walleye. 1st is to cut fillets in half lengthwise and put the two halves together with the head end touching the tail end of the other half fillet for even thickness. Baste with a thin layer of barbeque sauce or italian dressing and wrap with two strips of bacon. This way you get nice "logs" of walleye that make a nice meal. 2nd way is to cut fillets into 2" squares, baste with barbeque sauce and wrap with 1/3 piece of bacon. Hold the bacon in place with a toothpick. This way might be better for appetizers as you can make the pieces as large or small as you want. I like to use a mild flavoured barbeque sauce and the thinnest, cheapest bacon I can, otherwise it can overpower the walleye flavour. Both recipes go in the oven at 400 for about 10 minutes or until bacon is cooked. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naden 131 Report post Posted December 10, 2017 I usually do it the 2nd way except on the bbq. I brush bbq sauce on several times as its cooking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adrian 132 Report post Posted December 11, 2017 I use the 2nd option, but I put tinfoil on the bbq and the fish/bacon sits in a little bbq sauce, and no flare-ups from the sauce. Also I use the pre-cooked bacon for better consistant cooked bacon results Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
