Pickled northern


Recommended Posts

I'm very interested in this. I could catch 1,000 walleye in the winter and throw back 994 of them just cuz I'm about catch in release. But I might catch 125-500 pike and some need to be gone. I don't like fish normally. Some jars of pike will help the lakes and help me maybe like fish. Thanks.

I love pickled fish and usually make 15-20 jars in the winter. If you hunt its also something I've given to landowners after letting me on their land. I think things like this go a little farther than a gift card or money. Just make sure you try some before you give it out. A friend gave me a jar and a landowner a jar once. I didn't crack it open for a month or two. It was the worst thing I've ever tasted. He still has permission there but they never want any of his homemade goods.

I am going to try pickling this winter but I just love pan or deep frying pike. I will take a nice meaty pike fillet over walleye any day. I know that makes me less of a fisherman to the walleye guys but if I had to pick one fish to catch, I would give up walleye for pike. Fun to catch and eat.

I've tried many recipes over the years for pickled pike...but the absolute best, to me, is one from Amy Thielen's new cookbook called Midwestern Table. It uses Lemon and Basil. Never had better.

Minnesota girl and that cookbook has a bunch of excellent recipes...highly recommend.

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
