Loin

Loin of Walleye is the thick upper back muscle—the prime block for searing, neat roasting, or raw slices where quality allows. Clean grain and uniform thickness. Trim dark bloodline if its flavour is too strong. Keep walleye loin 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.
