There is nothing better than fresh Minnesota walleye. I made the most of ours with a shore lunch batter and then added these super easy pickled vegetables and some Sriracha mayo. A toasted brioche bun adds a final layer to this amazing sandwich. I can’t say enough about the pickled carrots, radishes, and cucumber. I want to put these on everything. Such an easy way to up your sandwich game.
