[QUOTE="Brian Renville, post: 91266, member: 256"] Walleye used to be a pretty popular seller at a certain restaurant I know something about. The commercial supply came from Canada and over the last year has become very unreliable. Less fish and smaller ones at that. What amazed me at first was how the fish were cleaned. Someone runs their knife over (not through) the rib cage and still has quite a bit of belly meat. I thought to myself these must be pretty damn big to clean like that while going at a commercial cleaning pace. Went to a food show and I got to see just how big. 13#+ fish are/were a dime a dozen to the guys up there with nets. Anyway, I told the salesman if they are having that much of a problem I don't want to be a part of it. No walleye on the menu any more. When they say it's not sustainable I believe it, the market has shown it for sure. Between sconis and all the fish frys feeding hundreds every Friday that just happen to be serving walleye the problem may be closer to us than we think. [/QUOTE]
