Judges (Gail Simmons, Tom Colicchio, Kristen Kish)

"I like the playfulness of the flaked fish presented as a dip."

"I love it. I think it's really good."

"It is really good. That texture with that harissa. So good."

At the judges table ...

"I thought the Walleye dish was really well put together. The flavor was fantastic. The hash brown was crispy, and it was hot."

"What I loved about the dish is that if you're talking about a regional seafood restaurant that clearly had a sense of place."

"That really conveyed the mission."
