We had a fish fry about a week ago and you couldn't tell the difference between the pike, walleye, or lake trout. After they were fried the lakers had a slight orange tinge to the meat, but that's about the only way you could tell the difference.

No arguing that there are different strokes for different folks though.
What is the trick, cut the fillet off throw it out and replace with a walleye fillet? lol

I would be extremely impressed if you could even come close to tricking me between walleye and lake trout in a blindfolded taste test.
