Hi, I’m Hank Shaw

I’m a James Beard Award-winning author and chef. I started this site back in 2007 to help you get the most out of all things wild: fish, game, edible wild plants and mushrooms. I also write cookbooks, and have a website dedicated to the intersection of food and nature. If it’s wild, you’ll find it here. Hope you enjoy the site!

Fried Walleye

Fried walleye is a classic for a reason: Crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside. The method here is buttermilk fried fish, and it works with all firm, white fish.
