[cool][#0000ff]No doubt about it. Walleyes are definitely some of the best eating fish in Utah...or anywhere.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]They have a simple skeleton, so they are easy to fillet and skin. And the meat is firm, white and flaky. You can cook them just about any way you want. It is hard to ruin walleye.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]As a general rule, however, you will find that they are better eating up to about 3 or 4 pounds (up to 24"). The larger females can be softer fleshed and not quite as tasty as the younger females or smaller males. There is usually a lopsided balance of more small males than larger females, so that works out well. Plus, the more big mamas you release to spawn, the more walleyes for the future.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]But, you don't need to apologize to anybody if your first walleye weighs ten pounds and you want to take it home to eat. It will still be better than any trout you ever put a fork to.[/#0000ff]
