Title: Pike recipe
Post by: Stickhick86 on Feb 21, 2017, 06:12 PM

Just wanted to put this recipe out there for pike. I have never cooked it before so after looking around I found this recipe and tried it out. You take 6 cups of water and bring it to a boil. Once it is boiling, add a 1/4 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of season salt, and 2 tbs of lemon pepper seasoning. Next you add your cubed up pike and bring back to a boil. Boil it for 5 minutes and then drain. Dip the pike in melted butter and garlic salt. This stuff is amazing.

Remove this before too many people start to love pike.  They are a slimy, smelly, rancid fish that nobody wants!

Haha after trying it. I love pike. Why would I want to take it down? I plan on targeting them more often now.

That is the way I make paddle fish.  Sprinkle Lawreys season salt on instead of garlic salt

I put the lawreys in the water. The garlic salt gets mixed into the melted butter to dip it in.

It sounds good, but I'm not a sugar in fish type of guy. Can you taste the sweetness in the fish? I'll definitely give it a shot if not too sweet. I was just @ a little ceasars restaurant Friday & they had cinnamon in the cod batter & it didn't taste that good. Yes I know cinnamon isn't sweet but this was just weird tasting.

No, you can't taste the sweetness at all.

This is one version of what we call poor mans Lobster.
I do this with Halibut and it's great.

My buddy was telling me about this recipe and I'll tell ya what I started keeping gators after I tried it.

I was on the ice in January and landed a pike and released it while I was fishing for redears. The idea popped into my head to keep the next pike I catch. About 2 hours later I landed another one, took it home and as I'm cleaning it I remembered exactly why I dont keep them slimey, slippery, boney fish.... My story changed after I tried the "poor man's lobster" recipe lol

The pike turn slimy from stress.  If you are going to KEEP the pike, kill it immediately before it has a chance to slime.
