I dunno, that doesn't sound so odd. There are a bazillion magazines
devoted to bass fishing, which to most Americans means largemouth bass,
which aren't difficult to catch at all. Waleye, on the other hand, for a
sport angler, at least, poses a bit of a challenge.

I'm sure everybody's local sweet corn is better than eveybody else's
sweet corn, and we do grow sweet corn here in New York, but we also have
cheap wild rice, if you know where to buy it, for the same reasons it
can be bought cheaply in Minnesota.

Not so surprising, actually, especially when you consider that a lot of
commercial gefilte fish is made from... you guessed it... walleye.
Although they generally call it yellow pike. (For those not up on this
terminology, a walleye is a relative of the yellow perch, a larger,
meaner, cold-and-deepwater cousin. And, they're walleyed. Well, sort of
bug-eyed, with a slight cataract on each eye, or at least that's how
they look. On the plus side, they have an extremely firm, white, sweet
meat, and are best prepared in the form of fillets or pieces thereof,
since they need to be skinned before cooking.
