Fruits of the Sea Weekend
Gunflint Lodge
This is the weekend we get to show off some of our seafood recipes to ensure you will get your fill of walleye, shrimp, scallops, salmon, and more. You will have seafood choices for all meals (plus other entrees if we get you on overload). We will be initiating our new fire pit with a walleye cookout, plus fresh bread coming from our brick bake oven.
Our primary emphasis will naturally be walleye—from a walleye trappers breakfast, to our special walleye chowder, to our beer batter walleye with sweet and sour mango sauce, to baked pecan crusted, to sautéed with almonds, etc. To mix it up a bit, we will have a mixed seafood and linguini, smoked salmon, and sautéed scallops. About the only thing we have not figured out how to do yet is work walleye into one of our desserts. |
