Name that appetizer.

How about fried green tomatoes or zucchini?

You got the "fried" right.

Looks like Fried green tomatoes to me.

Breaded and fried kasseri cheese?

You got the "fried" right.

Daughter says it looks like sliced scallops

SLiced and Fried Rocky Mountain Oysters.

Your daughter is getting closer.

You got the "fried" right.

How about Walleye cheeks?

How about Walleye cheeks?

We've got a winner. 

I was going to say eggplant. I assume walleye is a fish.

You are correct.

Fish have cheeks?

Between the eye socket and the upper part of the mouth (maxilla bone?) there is a chunk of muscle for working the jaws. Asian cultures consider this a real choice piece of meat. Nearest thing I can compare it to is the "oyster" muscle near the thigh-hip socket.

Ooops I forgot to say "thigh-hip socket of a chicken!"

Amazing.

So what did you do with the rest of all those fishies?

Marlene,
Walleye is a good-sized cool/cold water fish found a lot in the Great Lakes and surrounding area. The fillets are wonderful prepared as many 'white-meat' fishes are. Our local Culvers FF stand has Walleye Sandwiches and dinners about 4 months of the year, and many of the famous fish-fries held up north serve Walleye. It is very good eating fish.

mar52, here is a good head-on picture of a walleye, where you can easily see its cheek:

Just about every restaurant in Minnesota serves walleye. Most all of it comes imported from Canada since there is only one commercial fishery in the United States at the Red Lake Indian Reservation in Minnesota. Sander or Zander is imported from Europe. Minnesota had a controversy about that a few years ago and now no restaurant will dare server Zander and call it Walleye on the menu. Most are honest and say Canadian Walleye.

Here is my photo gallery collection of walleye sandwiches.

It is very good eating fish.

It's not a bad catching fish, either!

Thanks for the picture and information.  Walleye are scary looking!

... although the sandwiches are inviting.

Great pictures, Davy!

Here is another good tasting one. Posted recently elsewhere, so it won't be that difficult to identify...but an outstanding way to start a meal!

Crabcakes?

good start..look closer.

Lurid Neon Scallop Puff Bombs? 

Broccoli? Or crabmeat stuffed mushrooms!

Ooooh, that looks like the luscious steamed oysters topped with crab filling from G & M in Baltimore.

(BTW I'm long time reader, but this is my first post)

You hit it right, New Guy !!!  Good way to start a career of posting !  Welcome to Roadfood.

Those six Oysters, each with a mini-crabcake (stuffing?) broiled on top make a good lunch entree, or a fine appetizer-for-two! G&M does it right.
