Filleting a northern pike


Mat O

Recommended Posts

Do a search online for "filleting northern pike." There will be several examples. That's what I did last week, so I'll give my new technique a shot next time I catch one. What was very helpful was an illustration of the structure of the bones, a cross-section of the fish. Once you can see how the bones are laid out, it gives you a much better idea of what's going on in there.

I can fillet everything else that I've ever caught, but have not learned how to properly remove the "y bones" when filleting a northern. I'm looking for suggestions or info on how to fillet them, so I don't have to pick out these annoying bones when eating them.

Thanks in advance!

I don't bother taking out the "y" bones. If your fish are 10 to 15 pounds, the bones are big enough to "crack" out of the filet after you cook it!!!!!!!!! wink.gif


Just kidding..........

Actually, look around here and if you dig, I think you can find some pictures.........It is really hard to explain in words...........
