Wiper Palatability

[wall3y3]

I was with you until this weekend. Had a wiper/walleye in beer batter fry. The walleye was fabulous as always (particularly the cheeks) and the wiper was also fantastic this time. I could still detect a slight hint of that distinct wiper flavor but it was so slight that it did not matter. What did I do different? The day I caught/filleted the fish I rinsed them then soaked them in a kosher salt brine and then without rinsing the brine off put them in a ziplock. They were in the fridge for a couple days before we cooked them. Nom nom nom.
