Dorsal

Dorsal fillet of Walleye is the upper back strip—lean and firm. Preferred for neat slices and raw service on suitable species. As a dorsal section of fillet, portion for even cooking and clear labelling. Keep walleye dorsal iced until cooking; pat dry for browning, and stop when just opaque. Pan-frying, shore lunches, and baking suit the cut. Season with salt, acid, and fat that frame fine white flake.
