I picked this recipe up from Capt. Doug Fluhrer who runs Catch-Em-Up Charters in Erieau. Although originally for steelhead, it should be just as good for walleye!

Start with a pound (or more, depending on how much fish you are going to cook) of bacon strips cut in half.

Cut the fillets in small enough pieces to be wrapped in 1/2 strip of bacon (about 1" x 1" should work good) and marinade the pieces in "Zesty Italian" salad dressing for 1 or 2 hours

Remove pieces from marinade, wrap with bacon and secure with toothpicks.

Place wrapped pieces on foil covered grill (or frying pan on stove) and cook until bacon is crispy

Now for the best part! Once the bacon is crispy, top the pieces with your favorite barbecue, dipping or grilling sauce and cook a few minutes longer
