| Where did you get that leelte thing for Show & Tell? We do it differently--remove fillets- skin fillets-then remove Y bones from each fillet--hard to explain without pics though- we end up with 6 pcs. |

I've used the 6-piece method as well. The tail section from the Anus back is bone free.....2-pieces the lower half of each fillet (below the lateral line) is bone free...2-pieces and the "Y"s are found in the upper fillet and with a bit of pratice they are cut out by feeling them and sliding the knife along tham. Usually a 3/16 thisk piece of meat is lost and you have 6 pieces bone free! |

| I might add that Northern Pike is excellent table fare and pike 4- 6 pounds seem to be the best |

Another good way to cook pike is to boil them. i know it sounds gross at first but give it a try.
put pike fillets in water and bring to a hard boil. Reve fish and dscard the water. Replace water and finish cooking. Now the secret: Let cool and then use boilled fish with a cocktail sause that includes horseradish , put on a bed of lettuce and enjoy a prairie version of shrimp cocktail. ------------- Murf |
