My Mom is quite a cook, she broiled three whole pickerel seasoning olive oil rub, fresh lemon and panko, we filleted a couple dipped in milk flour, lemon and panko those got baked topped of with deer meat, my mom won't touch. we have yet to fry it, looking for a way to remove backbone without tearing the meat. The pickerel meat was quite interesting texture like chicken, i'm not much of a fish eater but Dad says you catch it you eat it hehe. the weekend is here Lyndsay see you on the ice

I'm not a big fish eater either but pickerel is really good - especially for all the flak it gets as a game fish. There are videos online for ways to get that y bone out cleanly. I can't do it but practice makes perfect!
When I cook fish I usually steam it with some soy sauce and Ginger and scallions for abt ten minutes. After its done steaming I throw some more fresh scallions on top and pour on a couple tablespoons of hot vegetable oil. I love it!
