In a land of more than 10,000 lakes, most people have fond memories of childhood fish fry events, complete with greasy, just-caught sunnies and thick-cut french fries. Hold on to those happy memories, and create some new traditions of your own, thanks to Chef Manny’s standout recipes. With delicate, crusted sunfish, dreamy dipping sauces and super-fresh slaw, you’ll redefine the classic fish fry.

Menu: Potato- and Parmesan-Crusted Pan-Fried Sunfish with Béarnaise Dipping Sauce and Fresh-Grilled Asparagus (great pan-fried dish, like eating potato chips); Open-Faced Walleye BLTs with Pesto Mayonnaise and Heirloom Tomato Salad [have to do Walleye item] Grilled Mahi Mahi with Pineapple Chutney or the Baja-Style Fish Tacos with Southwestern Slaw; [both use Mahi, a reasonably priced fish]; Spicy Asian Grilled Shrimp Skewers with Marinated Vegetable Salad.
