walleye
Minnesota's prized catch
Walleye is a freshwater fish native to North American lakes and rivers, prized by anglers for its mild, flaky flesh.
The name comes from its large, glassy eyes, which reflect light and appear to gaze outward.
Walleye also describes an eye condition where the iris is pale or the eye turns outward, showing excessive white: a horse with a walleye.
