A Walleye is a whole freshwater fish, a lean, protein-rich food that must be cooked before eating. Eaten whole it leaves the character unhappy. Sliced into fillets or rolled into sushi, it becomes far more useful.
A walleye spoils within a few days, so it should be cooked or frozen quickly. It is a common whole fish on butcher counters, turning up often in Gigamart kitchens and seafood restaurants. The Rancher is the best occupation for raw meat and fish. It starts with the most Butchering skill. The Chef and the Fishing Guide also start with some Butchering skill.
Eating
A cooked walleye lowers hunger by 15 but raises unhappiness by 20. It holds 159 calories, almost all of it from 35 grams of protein. That makes it a lean meal that does little for body weight but helps a character building strength.
Raw walleye is dangerous to eat and can make the character sick. It must be cooked first. Walleye is better hot and worse cold, so it should be eaten straight after cooking.
The White Bass and the White Crappie carry the same figures, so the three fish are interchangeable in the kitchen. The walleye is simply the easiest of them to find.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Cooking
A whole walleye cooks in 20 minutes and burns after 60. An oven or a fire both work, but a microwave is a poor choice for it.
The Slice Fillet recipe cuts one walleye into 2 Fish Fillets. Fillets are the usual way to get a whole fish into soups, stews and other dishes. A walleye also counts as fish for Prepare Sushi, Prepare Maki and Prepare Onigiri, which turn it into a sushi dish.
Storage
A walleye stays fresh for 4 days and is fully rotten by day 8. A fridge slows both counts down, and a freezer holds it far longer. Slicing it into fillets and freezing them keeps the catch for later.
Locations
Walleye is a common find at fish counters. Butcher display cases in Gigamart kitchens and seafood kitchens hold it about two times in five, as does other seafood kitchen storage. Gigamart and grocery store butcher cases hold it about one time in ten. Barbecue stores and butcher shops turn it up a little less often. Restaurant freezers and fridges hold one only very rarely.
