Anyone have a good recipe for Pike?

The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
Filet, salt, pepper, flour, pan fry, eat.
Waksupi's recipe is spot on. If you wish to emulate commercial pickled herring's taste, buy some white port wine and play with substituting the wine for some of the sugar and vinegar in the final brine.

Never understood why people worry about the Y bones. Pan fry and once you know where they are they slide right out as you eat.
Be carefull with pickled fish, the process does not kill any parasites that maybe present. Of particular concern are tapeworm cysts, pike are particularly susceptible. There have been several out breaks here on the range from pickled fish. Cooking will kill the cysts or freezing below 0f (colder the better) for several days will do it as well.
Last season an old Finn came into the aid room complaining of stomach pain and fatigue. I noticed his cloths fit loosely (ie recent weight loss), I asked if he'd had any raw foods lately and said pickled pike at New Years. I referred him to emergency services and told him to go immediately. Called ahead to brief the on call and advised to check for Diphyllobothrium Latium. She was skeptical. Couple hours layer the ER calls back confirming the tapeworms and stated it probably would have killed the guy.

Something I am going to try this winter ice fishing, is doing an alum soak for maybe 12-24 hours. Makes pickles crunchy, it may firm the fish flesh!

Well, actually it doesn't taste like tunafish, it tastes like canned smoked fish and the small amount of oil gives it the texture of tunafish. It works well on sandwiches or casserole whereas pickled fish doesn't. Personally, I'm not a big fan of pickled fish...I can eat a bite or two as an appetizer, but I can't imagine using it in an entree ...and I prefer Herring as a pickle.
