Last week we drove from the northern California coast to Custer, South Dakota so my husband could see Mt. Rushmore. We stayed In Custer, SD and had a great dinner at Custer Wolf. I had the walleye po’boy with small chunks of lightly fried fish and a wonderful dill slaw. I thought it would be too much to finish, but I ate the whole thing, bread and all. Lovely place and people. Our server told us that walleye is the state fish, but they have to import it from Alaska because they don’t allow commercial walleye fishing in SD. We tried to go back for another dinner but they were slammed. Oh well.
On the way back, we saw the Devil’s Tower in Wyoming. I enjoyed that a lot.

So glad you enjoyed the walleye!
It’s also the state fish of Minnesota so if you make it over here lots of great choices. We import a fair amount from Canada here because the “warmer” winters have been hard on the fish population and they want to keep recreation fishing going
As so many small businesses and resorts depend on fishing

Port Clinton, Ohio proclaims itself Walleye Capital of the World. Perhaps many other places do too.
Stopped there on a trip to Northern Michigan. Lots of really good lake fish on that trip, including walleye, though perch was my favorite.
