I have seen a lot of recipes for walleye fish, but they all seem to be breaded and deep-fried or battered and deep-fried or just baked. So I figured if you can make fish cakes tasty with salmon and so on, why not post a recipe for walleye cakes?

Step 1

Combine cornflake crumbs, bread crumbs, and flour in a shallow dish; set aside.
