Bake it in tin foil with butter or margerine lemon juice, and put montreal steak spice on it. CUt up tomatoes onions peppers what have you. Bake till done. Either on barby or in oven. Take Y bones out with a V cut.

i agree with kjay, or fillet and bone out, cut into large bite sized pieces then fry with scrambled eggs and onions with crumbled bacon mixed in, a dose of green pepers if you have them.

depending on the thickenss and size of the pike you may want to partially fry first then add to finish with the eggs. just don't over cook it.

Pike the other white meat
Flour,Egg wash, Corn Flake crumbs. Fry to a golden brown. Get out all the bones and if the fellet is thick split it to keep it about 1/2" thick.
Now for the best
Fish Gumbo

1tsp garlic chopped 1/2tsp ea white pepper thyme oregeno 1/8 tsp cayenne or to taste, 8c. chicken broth, 1lb smoked sausage sliced on the bias 3/4" thick, 1lb or so fish cubed 1"
Fry bacon and reserve  Heat the bacon fat untill it smokes and add a equil amt of flour. Whisk untill roux turn the color of a brown paper bag. In a soup pot add all the ingredients except the sausage, fish, and bacon  simmer for 15 min. Add the sausage, bacon and fish simmer for about 7 min Serve over cooked rice Season with salt and pepper. Great with French bread. Northern Pike works great for this.

My absolute favorite way to cook northern is to cube it into 1/2" squares, boil it in sprite for a few minutes, and serve with butter.  You need to try it to believe how good it is!  Last winter I had a fish fry for about 10 relatives.  I fried walleyes and perch, and boiled northern.  The northern was gone first!  You can also use Mountain Dew, 7 Up, or any other light colored pop.

Try canning them. Cube enough fish to fit in seven
jars or however many your gear will allow. Soak fish
in mixture of 1 cup salt to 1 gal. water for one hour.
Mix 3/4 cup ketchup and 1/2 cup cider vinegar in a
bowl. Rinse and drain fish. Pack fish with 1 1/2 table-
spoons mixture into HOT pint jars. Seal jars with HOT
lids. Pressure cook for 90 minutes at 10 lbs pressure.
You can add some olive oil to mixture if you wish. When
jars cool, you are ready. Tastes like tuna. If you wish,
add 1/2 teaspoon of liquid smoke to a jar after canning. Shake the jar to distribute the smoked flavor and let
it rest for a day. Poor mans smoked salmon. This is
great fishing food winter or summer. Good luck.

neat idea, never got into canning, don't know why.

ah, yes I do, I had a jar of garlic venison once, it was melt in your louth tender, a buddy up the lake brought it down in March one year and we had a good feed.

then I had halucinations for 10 hours and projectile vomiting.  

ofcourse it wasn't the canning itself that did it, it was his handling, but that ruined me on canning for a good while.

any recipes for canning stuff?

maybe I'll get into it this winter after the new year.

My Grandmother used to bake them.
She took a 5-8 lb'er and scale it and cut about a 14 inch long chunk.
Stuff with Sage dressing and sew the belly together..... dressing exposed, to get more in it  ;D
Then bake at 375 for about 20 minutes or until done.
Served with a melted butter/honey mustard dipping sauce.
Messy but good!!

I just had a couple of small (4 lb) pike smoked by a local butcher shop for around $10...they turned out FANTASTIC!  Maybe someday I'll try the smoking them myself but I'm sold on the taste.
