Pike Delivery or Pickup

Some people like to call it jackfish, while others prefer the term "northern pike."  Pike is a type of fish that feeds on other fish, frogs, waterfowls, mice, and ducklings. They are mainly caught in places like Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Alaska, and Missouri. Pike has a high nutritional value, making it one of the best delicacies in the U.S.

Like other fish species, pike contains protein, vitamin D, vitamin B12, niacin, and selenium. You need all these nutrients to keep your eyes, heart, and brain healthy. For 0.5 ounces of cooked pike fillet, you can benefit from around 115 grams of water and other essential nutrients. The health benefits of pike include:

Of all the freshwater fish species, the pike has the richest flavor. It all depends on which type of cooking method you prefer. Some people like it oven-grilled, while others would rather pan-fry or boil it. Since pike cleaning is considered an art, learning how to pass the water without getting pricked by bones can be helpful. Wash it thoroughly in cold water to remove any toxic substances and maintain its firm skin during the cooking process. Pike meat is white and flaky, so it is best cooked without removing the skin. Pike's belly contains high levels of mercury. 

The secret to preparing an irresistible pike meal is to remove the innards and wash them thoroughly. You can choose to fillet it to enjoy its flesh minus the bones.  If you are keen on benefiting from rich amounts of nutrients, such as omega-3s, phosphorus, and niacin, ensure it is not overcooked or undercooked.  To achieve a crispy and irresistible taste, grill your pike in the oven. Preheat it first to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Marinate it with spices to add flavor. Add a dash of lemon juice to mask the fishy smell and retain its natural flavor.
