If you clean wipers and remove the fat (red meat) with a simple slice of a fillet knife, most people could not tell whether they were eating walleye or wiper. I tried this out and cut chunks of meat so I couldn’t see the shape of the fillet, then my wife cooked both identically and gave both to me without me knowing which fish chunks were from wiper or walleye. I literally could not tell a difference. Anyway, when you add fish to your “death-wells” on the boat, bleed them out immediately, keep them cold, and then fillet them properly to remove any fat (which contributes to a “fishy” flavor) and then eat-up! By the way, your recipe sounds great, but I prefer grilled fish or pan-fried (not deep-fried) fish with minimal breading.
Wiper and striper fillets (without the red meat) is some of the best fish I have ever eaten. I would put it up against halibut or any other white fish flesh.
Wiper/Striper/White bass are some of the best tasting fish you can eat out there, you just have to know how to fillet them correctly by removing the red meat. Make excellent fish tacos!
The recipe must be great if you can make store bought Tilapia edible.
Our favorite non-fried non-grilled fish recipe is a baked Mediterranean dish. We use white fish or salmon. Halve some cherry tomatoes and Kalamata olives and cover bottom of baking dish, add chopped onion and garlic, s&p, thyme, oregano, drizzle with olive oil, bake at 400 for 10min. Then layer fish on top, s&p, paprika, chili flakes, drizzle more olive oil, bake another 12min. Serve with couscous or rice.
Totally agree with Scott!! Wiper are excellent eating fish!, bleeding and trimming the red meat does make a difference. Striper and wiper both are excellent Blackened by the way way and much healthier than deep frying. If you like fried fish use your favorite recipe with chunks of trimmed wiper. If it’s not excellent you are doing something wrong!!
I’ve fed so many people wiper and or striper in the same meal and everybody loved the fish and had no idea they were eating SMB, Crappie, Walleye all prepped and cooked same way! Thru said it was all great didn’t eve. Realize there was different fish in the mix!
The same people would say I don’t like striper to eat!!
Go to a seafood market and see what the charge for striper fillets! It is a prime fish! Wiper closely related. A lady I used to work with who loved to fish and eat fish, when I brought her some wiper the first time she said they won’t be any left when people find out how good these taste!! ?
She was always asking for more!
While the link says 6 servings at 201 calories, I recalculated to 4 servings at 300 calories. Either way, way more healthy than fried. 
A guy could also release them and catch them again later when they have grown a bit more. Being a hybrid there is only so many in the lake while some of the other species reproduce and stunt. Given the choice I’d take smallies or walleye (or trout from a mountain reservoir or stream for that matter) if I wanted a fish dinner, but to each their own.
Looks good Bob, I will for sure give it a try but I might use perch or walleye, wipers are too bony
My wife and I love soups and stews . I make a lot of cream based fish chowder that we love. I use my instapot for everything ! I’m definitely going to try that recipe soon for a change of pace ! It looks delicious! I’m sure we will love it !
