1)Fillet each side as any other fish 2)If you left rib bones in - take them out - feel along with the tip of your finger and find the line of y-bones. Run the tip of your knife just under them and then immediately turn the knife up and run it along the entire length. Run the blade on the bottom side the entire length not going all the way through. Grab the y bones and rip the whole chunk off of the fillet. All done! Try it a few times and it will get easier each time. |

I think if you scroll down to the bottom of this page you'll find the 5 cut method with some basic images. http://www.gamefishin.com/gfboard2003/forum_posts.asp?TID=3814&PN=0&TPN=3 Is this it? I've never tried it (looks like the way to go though!) |

I've pretty much filleted or cleaned about every freshwater (and a couple of saltie species) fish there is but was never able to do a decent job on pike which is just about my favorite eatin'. I had pretty much hung filleting pike as a bad job when I happened to be shopping in a local hardware/sporting goods store. There playing on a video tv was tape on fish filleting. Its called "How To Fillet Fish the Easy Way" and was produced by Normark and "stars" Gary Roach, i.e., Mr. Walleye. Normarks US address is: Normark 10395 Yellow Circle Drive Minneapolis, MN 55343 He made it so simple... I went out and caught a 6 pounder that same day and tried his method. Lo and behold, only one y bone eluded me. I cooked up a whole pot of "poor mans lobster" and ate it all!!! Andy |

This guy does it the way I do. Easy and effective...good explanation and video. It's the way Pax does it...I think, on video. |

That is unless its' late and no fish are on the stringer, and looking at potatoes only dinner, then all bets are off!! |

Pickling pike disolves all the bones. It's way better than herring. :-) Pickled Northern Pike · pike fillets cut into bite-sized pieces · 7 cups water · 1 cup coarse salt · 1 bottle white vinegar · 2 1/2 cups sugar · 1 cup white wine · 1 onion thinly sliced Fill gallon jar with 7 cups water and 1 cup coarse salt. Stir until dissolved. Add cut-up pike fillets to jar. Refrigerate 48 hours. Drain and empty jar and rinse well. Return fish to empty jar and cover with white vinegar. Refrigerate 24 hours. Remove fish from jar, but save vinegar. Boil 4 cups vinegar for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add 2 1/2 cups sugar. Stir until dissolved and let cool. Add 1/4 cup pickling spices and 1 cup white wine. Layer fish in jar, alternating with thin slices of onion. Completely cover with liquid. Let stand in refrigerator for 3 weeks. |
