Great video and a good method for boneless pike! .but there might be an easier way. You can cut off the backstrap as its own filet from the head to the dorsal fin, staying above the y-bones. Then cut down from the top, staying outside the Y-bones and the ribs to shave off each side of meat. You will end up with the spine having a square of bony meat running along it and 3 awesome, boneless filets. I always found it easier than cutting bones out of the filets.

Sam saves the day again. Good thing she stepped in at the end. It looked like Jay poured half the jar of that sauce in the pan for 8 cubes of fish.
I'm sorry I have disagree on the comparison between pike and walleye. No matter how cold the water is, pike always have that hint of pike slime in 'em. Not that the meat is slimy, but it has an aftertaste of what pike slime smells like.
I would eat them if I were hungry, but they are much better sport than dinner.

You nailed it. COLD WATER pike are good eating. Once the water gets warm in the summer, kinda nasty. They were my mom's favourite fish to eat, and she was a wizard at cleaning them. Winter/early spring pike. almost impossible to tell the difference from walleye. In fact, she fooled many people who said they hate pike but loved her walleye. But like walleye, the smaller ones are the ones you want.

Awesome Video about Catch and Cook Jay! With all due Respect, send Sweetness to the market or something prior to the cooking. I have one at home too and mine will try to Sabotage the cook as well but She knows the Kitchen it's my Domain and the rest of the house it's hers, that's why she can kick me out when she wants. Everything looks Delish, keep up the good work.

Hey guys, just watched your pike catch and cook, it looked really great, id love to try some of that. I live here in Ireland and fish in Canada every year over in BC for salmon and steelhead.
We have the same northern pike here, so must give them a whirl sometime soon as this is a great time of the year to get them.

Pike are excellent in the frying pan. In tea-stained waters of northern Ontario the meat is usually orange. If you know where the y-bones are you can pull out a few at a time while you are eating, it's not a big deal. One between 24 and 30 inches is a perfect eating size.

You will have way more control on that fish and overall be a lot safer if you keep some rags or paper towels around to wipe up some of that slippery slimy stuff before you cut. As Chef Corky Clark said when I was in culinary school clean dry board, clean dry fish.

Just run filets through grinder twice, that will take care y bones. Then put onion, salt, pepper, smoked bacon, eggs, few peaces of white bread. Make paddies, flip in flour and to frieing pan. 4 min per side. Thank me later: .

This is exactly how I cut my pike and I do a similar thing except those chunks get air fried and then I make tacos with them. This looks awesome too and youre way better at taking the Y bone out, Im a hack but I get it done.

At the lake growing up we caught and ate almost exclusively pike. Usually kept 3-5lb eaters. Simple spiced dry batter, fried in butter, on bread. Add your favorite salad, fantastic supper. I still really love it.
