BUFFALO BLUEGILL WRAPS
By Pat Kolbe, BUCK FEVER OUTDOORS
I love to find different ways to use tasty fish filets other than the traditional Wisconsin fish fry (don’t get me wrong, that's still a dinner staple and my favorite way to eat fish!). This Buffalo Bluegill Wrap is a great variation and a bit healthier option than loading up a plate with deep fried filets and a pile of french fries! The buffalo wing sauce is surprisingly a great combination with the fish, avocado, greens and cheese. If you have kids trying this recipe or you don’t like the heat from the Buffalo sauce, substituting your favorite ranch dressing is also a great alternative! So if your freezer is full from a great ice fishing season for panfish - give these Buffalo Bluegill Wraps a try!
INGREDIENTS
Deep Fried Bluegill (12-15 pieces), fried in your favorite breading (I prefer Andy’s Red)
1 package of Street Taco sized Wraps
1-2 Avocados, pitted and chunked into small pieces
1 cup of Colby-Jack shredded cheese (or whatever favorite blend is)
2 cups of Spinach or Shredded Lettuce
Bottle of your favorite Wing Sauce (I like Louisiana Wing Sauce or Sweet Baby Rays Wing Sauce)
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
Deep Fry your bluegill filets in oil. I prefer to use Andy’s Red Breading because of its ease-of-use and excellent crispy flavor. Andy’s doesn’t require an egg-wash and you still get a nice, crisp fried piece of fish.
Assemble your Buffalo Bluegill Wrap
Place 2-3 street taco wraps on a plate
Add 1-2 bluegill pieces per wrap
Add a few chunks of avocado, followed by spinach leaves or lettuce
Add a healthy pinch of shredded cheese
Top with your favorite Buffalo Wing Sauce
VARIATIONS/NOTES:
Any type of freshwater deep-fried fish would work with this recipe. I’ve tried it with walleye, perch, crappie and all produce the same result = empty plates!
If the heat from the buffalo wing sauce is too much for you, a great alternative is using your favorite ranch or bleu cheese dressing!
