The prime cuts (back and tail pieces) hold up great on a well seasoned grill...Underrated and underappreciated fish.  Keep the panfish population balanced, great action on light tackle, prevalent and tasty!

pickerel patties


getting brown, flip em over


final product - YUM!


Lots of guys don't like pickerel or pike because "they have too many bones", boy they don't know what they are missing. 

Fried pickerel patties, fresh coleslaw and fries. Washed it down with a cold one. Yum! Pickerel fillets were ground in a food processor, mixed with raw eggs, parsley flakes, garlic powder, fresh minced onion, and mixed with crushed Ritz crackers like a meatloaf and the patties were then fried in oil until golden brown. Delicious!

Thanks bigfish, I'll have to try your method seems a little simpler.  The main thing is to get the "Y" bones out and then the pickerel or pike are great tasting battered and deep fried.  Baked covered with onions, garlic power and lemon juice wrapped in tin foil is a tasty treat also.

Fillet the pickerel.  Soak the fillets in buttermilk for 4-5 hours.  Then rinse them, pat dry and season heavily with Uncle Cletus' fish rub.  Let rest for two hours to allow the rub to penetrate.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.  Place the seasoned fillets on an adler plank.  Bake in a 350 deg preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.  Remove the plank from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.

Throw the fish away and eat the plank...

Thanks for sharing the video, it looks really easy and am going to try that.  I've caught some decent size pickerel, twenty inches and bigger but always throw them back because I was afraid of missing some bones if I filleted them.

Great looking meal raquettedacker!! If I have to hear that stupid alder plank joke again I might lose all hope. It's ran its course!

5 cut method to fillet them (check out youtube) to get the y-bones out, batter and fry. White meat is pretty mild

Fished with Spider today and he brought some delicious Pickerel Patties! Ground Pickerel, onion and beaten egg to hold it together. Made them on my new grill.

Thanks! Spider did a great job on the patties and I LOVE the grill! It folds up to about an inch thick so it takes up practically no room in the sled. And has a big cooking area for it’s size.
