Great to see you doing catch and cook video. It looks to be a fine coating instead of chunky types.  What brand of coating you used? I am looking for fine coatings that can be bought from supermarkets. Any suggestions?

panko. and if you what it finer just put the panko in a blender a few secs...also best deal in town for panko is the 1.36kg box size at costco. $7 and in stay fresh zip bags...

i like to put my fish in a plastic bag...add seasonings/soy/mustard...mix it up...then add a some white flour...that'll make it sticky....now add a tiny bit of milk....makes it even more sticky lol...  and now add some panko...shake it/massage it with your fish and it'll coat nice....

add to a med heat pan with oil....

a great alternative to those heavy batters...

And panko is way better then breadrumbs because they are not baked  - they are electrocuted. Seriously...amazing history about the panko origin in the vid below...

I grew up fishing for walleye on the Great Lakes. To pan fry the fillets, the coating was simply Premium Plus crackers (the square ones commonly used for soup). Crush the crackers in a bag or a blender. Dip the fillets in a milk/egg wash, coat in cracker crumbs using the bag, and pan fry.

With a quick homemade tartar sauce of mayo and relish on the side, it was the bomb.

My mouth is watering just thinking about it!

Never caught a walleye but I have had it in restaurants - mostly back east. I have also saw both fillets and whole fish in Toronto fish markets. The fish is among the most delicious white fleshed fish I have had and rivals halibut. I was also able to have commercially caught Lake Whitefish a few years ago. Also unique and unlike our Rocky Mountain whitefish. It has a sort of slightly sweet flavor.

Love walleye/pickerel, whatever it is they have in Manitoba/Ontario. It's probably my favorite fish to eat.
