Walleye
Pike's perch cousin
Walleye is a large freshwater fish native to North American lakes and rivers, prized by anglers for its firm, mild-tasting flesh.
The name refers to the fish's distinctive large, glassy eyes, which appear to gaze outward—an adaptation for seeing in murky water.
Walleye also describes an eye condition where one or both eyes turn outward, or where the cornea is whitish or opaque.
