Bum’s Kabobs

Cut walleye fillets into two inch cubes. Place fish on kabob sticks by alternating with chopped yellow and orange peppers, chopped onion, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes. To get the most flavor, make sure the veggies pretty much cover up the walleye cubes when on the kabob. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking as well. Soak the kabobs in a marinade of chipotle lime or lemon pepper sauce an hour before grilling. Grill for a few minutes. At the last minute, add grated cheese blend ( Asiago, Parmesan, and Romano) on top of the kabobs. Serve over a bed of rice.
