Wait...maybe 15 years ago, I had a "shore lunch" while up in Thunder
Bay, and I think walleye was on the menu. Maybe not. Does that sound
probable for that sort of a meal?

Yep. Pan-fried walleye is the favorite shore lunch. The Ontario
fly-in lodge I went to also specialized in a northern pike fish
chowder at shore lunch - pike cubes, onion, potatoes, condensed milk,
spices.
Watched the Injuns prepare it a few times, but don't have the recipe.
It was good, but hunger from 6 hours of fishing always influences
those kind of judgements.
Lake perch and walleyes have been practically gone from the south end
of Lake Michigan for many years.
When I was a kid the Chicago lakefront was still pretty good for perch
fishing and netting smelt.
