Walleye is a fresh water fish usually found in the Northern part of the US and Canada. In the Summer time in the Midwest, there are fishing competitions to see who can catch the largest walleye. They are pretty popular to catch here next to Northerns and they taste great. If you ever come to the Midwest you will see walleye on the menu. Usually as fish sandwiches or pan-seared.
