The easiest and one of the best is. Cut your fish in chunks to finger size. Corn meal and season salt or Cajon shaker. In a gallon zip lock bag. Pat dry the fish and drop in the bag and shake it. Drop it in a deep fryer for a few mins. Taste the first few to get the right seasoning combo.

take these and pulverize in a blender or one of those little bullets to a fine powder, i personally like the hot and spicy ones

I don't know that I really have a favorite, but I do use a wide variety of coatings to keep things interesting. Straight up make your own out of flour (or corn meal), salt, and lemon pepper, beer batter like Shore Lunch version, I also use plain, Italian or Panko bread crumbs. At times I will even mix bread crumbs in with a flour-based coating, which is excellent as well.

As for the wash, again I mix it up. My preferred is beaten eggs with a dash of milk or I'll just use plain milk or water.

I probably have a slight preference for flour-based coatings, but that's just me. They tend to make excellent leftovers re-warmed the next day for a fishwich with cheese lunch. Note, I much prefer to reheat them in an oven as opposed to a microwave.

When it comes to cooking oils, I strongly favor olive oil, but will occasionally use other oils, or even pan fry in butter.

That's one of the beautiful things about walleye, there are a ton of options out there for coatings and techniques.

Allen, you had me until the walleye comment - you snob! Think about all the wasted opportunities for you to try your techniques on other white meat fish like rock bass!
