Boiled Northern Pike

[wall_eye_assasin]

Just a quick way I enjoy Northern Pike especially ones caught through the Ice. All I do is get water to a boil, I cut my Northern fillets in pieces ( a little bigger than bite size) and than I put them into the boiling water. The fillets will sink but very soon they will turn a beautiful white and start floating. In another pan have hot melted butter with garlic salt ready. As soon as the northern pieces start floating they will be done, It only takes a minute. Take the pieces out and dip in the garlic butter. Colse your eyes and I bet you will think it is LOBSTER. I have done this for many many years and we call it POOR MANS LOBSTER. I promise you with a steak and a boiled northern it doesn't get any better. Enjoy

I've done the same but I boiled them in milk.

what about the bones, do you have to pick them out?

[wall_eye_assasin]

No bones in northern pike if you take the y bones out. I have never had a problem with bones. If you have little ones that our eating have them be careful.

I will have to try that, I don't think you can hurt the taste of Northern at all. Thank you for the tip

try boiling them them in 7/up or Mountain dew. Then dip them in butter. Very good.
