Northern Pike Shout Out

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Just back from another successful fishing trip to Cass Lake, MN and I seem to have quite a bit of northern pike in the freezer, I also have quite a bit of perch from last year but I already know how to cook those! LOL

I am looking for some suggestions on pike recipies. Baked, pan fried, broiled, deep fried, just send me your favorites so I can try them.

Thanks in advance!

NORTHERN PIKE IN HORSERADISH SAUCE:

1 cup sour cream

3 tbls milk

1 tbls cream style white horseradish

2 tbls lemon juice

1 tsp capers with juice

1 tsp dry mustard

2 tbls fresh parsley

1 1/2 northern pike steaks

salt and pepper

3 tbls butter

in large mixing bowl combine sour cream, milk, horsradish, lemon juice, capers with juice, dry mustard and parsley, mix until well blended. sprinkle pike with salt and pepper. place fillets in nonstick baking dish. melt butter turning fillets to coat evenly. pour sauce over fillets and bake uncovered at 350 deg. 25 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. garnish with additional chopped parsley and thinly sliced lemon serve hot. good luck.

"Poor man's lobster"

Cut fillets into smaller chunks

Place in boiling water (with Zataran's Sea Food Boil)

Sprinkle fish chunks with Paprika

Serve with drawn butter

Thanks guys, keep those recipies coming. Horseradish sounds like one to try. I have already done the poor mans lobster and it is a hit but I am guessing you could dip my boat shoe in melted butter and garlic and it would not taste too bad! LOL

A shoe normally needs to be marinated well before boiling it though. Then yes it can be apetizing serve with drawn garlic butter...

in my opinion the northern pike is the best tasting fish out there once you learn to take that Y bone out. i use the smaller pike not only for great fish patties, and pickled gems, but baked with butter it's great as well. the above reciepe just adds to this great fish as far as flavor. good luck.
