- Northern pike are known as a tricky fish to fillet boneless due to the high amount of y bones.
Today I show you the best way to clean a pike, resulting in 5 beautiful boneless fillets. Bigger fish are of course better but this method works wonders for both big and small fish.
Northern Pike have bones going through the whole body but they do not reach around the top of the fish. This means that the top and the sides of the fish can easily be removed without any bones.
How to Fillet a Northern Pike:
Start with the top of the Pike - have the Pike on it's belly so it's back is facing you. Place your knife behind the neck. Cut downwards and then turn the knife towards the tail of the fish to cut right across the tops of the bones all the way to the fin. You'll cut all the way and end the steak at the start of the fin.
You can cut two more bone-less fillets out of this Pike. move your knife slightly towards its tail end to line up in front of his anal fin. Cut straight down here until you feel the bone. Then turn the knife towards his tail fin for another boneless fillet.
Flip the fish to its side and cut two guidelines. one at the start and one at the end of where you cut off the back piece of the pike. this helps the meat fall off. using the ybones as a guide, slice the knife along the side of the Pike, sliding along the y bones, to create another boneless fillet. Cut across at the neck and back fin of the northern pike to finish your second boneless fillet. Then flip the fish and do the same thing to the other side for a fifth boneless fillet.
And there you have 5 Northern Pike fillets without any bones.
