Does tartar sauce go good with fish board?

I like fish with my tartar sauce. 

Actually, tonight my son and I feasted on deep-fried, beer-batter walleye.  How can anything so decadent, so bad for you, taste so fantastic? 

Got the house airing out, in time for my dearest beloved to return from her weekend trip. (Ewww, is that fried fish I smell???)

Now, for a more serious answer, while you recover from hip surgery. Here is what I suggest:

Fillet catch ASAP. Cut fillets into smaller pieces. In a gallon zipbag, prepare a marinade with equal parts lemon and lime juice. As an option, add any one of the following: Famous Dave's Georgia Mustard, italian dressing, ranch dressing. Mix well. Add any spices you may desire. Mix again. Add pieces to bag, and let marinate for a few hours.

This part is critical to avoid spoilage. Squeeze air from bag & seal. Place in a wet canvas or burlap bag. If you're in a canoe, suspend from a 10'-12' rope for cooling effect. If you're in camp, drop bag in deep water offshore (to protect from turtles,etc) and run rope to a tie off point on shore. You may not be able to reel it in, you may need to go out in canoe to retrieve it. It will keep 1/2 day or so, and the marinade will tenderize meat.

To cook it, I would wrap it in foil, and place in a bed of coals, to keep moisture in, so it doesn't dry out and become tough.

Hope this helps.

Had the hip replaced this past Monday.  Left the hospital Wednesday, and walked about a city block today (on crutches).  Still stiff and sore, but I'm moving and glad to be home.
