pike and musky are pretty good eating.the bones are the problem.i expect pickerel are the same.i had 2 in a fish tank and they were cool.they live in a pond near my house but never got 1 more than 10 inches.got a couple about 4 lbs at reelfoot.we do have big pike tho.not considered big until 15 pounds or so.

Funny; I've eaten it in MN.
The dip or spread thing is a good idea, John.

While in Germany years ago one of my favorite "fast food" chains were the 'Nordsee' restaurants.

They offered nothing but cold, pickled fish in a dizzying range of choices. You got fish, kraut style salad and pickles and a roll, all washed down with beer.

My favorite was a sour cream-mayonnaise dressed herring.

Another interesting thing was these places had no seats - just tables at which you stood to eat. Such dining was called, "schnell imbiss,"

Never made it - I've eaten pickled fish, though

Its a love-hate thing, to me. You dont eat it because its better than a tender steak, or pizza.
You eat it because you can make it and, well... What else would you do at that point?

I'd like to try Pickeled Pickerel someday .I've never done it .Have any of you guys done this? Here's a recipe I found on how to do it :

Pickled Pickerel
2 tsp pickling spice
2 ½ tbs kosher salt
¼ cup sugar                                         
1 onion
white vinegar
1) Cut fillets in to chunks
2) Fill 1 quart Ball jar approximately ¾ full with fish
3) Add, salt, sugar, pickling spice and sliced onion
4) Fill jar with white vinegar
5) Shake until all dry ingredients dissolve
6) Refrigerate 5 days [give it a shake the 3rd day]
7) Eat it right out of the jar or mix with a little sour cream and eat on a cracker as you would pickled herring

Several news papers have the story about the new Maryland record pickerel, caught Jan 2 2015. Google Maryland Record Pickerel and view the stories.

I believe, according to one source, Mr Haille released the fish. Cool!
