Recipe for Pike anyone?

[SportingShooter 0]

Having been offered a Pike and refused as i didn't know what to do with such a bony fish.

 

Does anyone have a good recipe if I am asked again?

Fish cakes are a safe bet or cut into steaks and bake in foil or deep fry .They smoke OK.Picking round the bones is all part of the game. Grilled or baked perch and gudgeon tossed in flour and fried like sprats are far better fish for eating.

Well now, Great Northern Pike is one of my favourite fish, and I prepare it in a few different ways. The first, and my favourite is to fillet the fish, then turn the fillet over and cut out the y bones. I end up with two fillets per side. Then cut into pieces and deep fry with chips. No bones and geat taste. My wife is a pro at removing the y bones and not the meat.

 

The second way is to skin it and wrap it in foil, stuffed with butter and onions and maybe a little bit of hot sauce, and bake slowly in the coals. When done right just take your fork and gently rake the meat off the bones. The meat will slide right off easily.

Simply cook on an open fire the smoke adds to the flavour i like jack pike cooked on the bank straight from the water.

To cook inside use bay leaves and garlic

Hugh fernley whittingstall I think is the name you are grasping.

Pike is really easy and a lovely fish, down here they are not at all earthy, not fishy but have a lovely mellow flavour and are quite meaty.

The simplest is make a tin-foil packet, rub ground ginger into the descaled skin, place the pike in the packet a poor over some white wine, depending on fish size cook for about 40mins gas mark 5. Job done.

 

Happy eating
