Questions about Walleye pike
Is walleye pike actually a type of pike?
No. Walleye is a freshwater fish in the perch family; “pike” in its common name can be misleading. It is also often sold simply as walleye.
How do you pan-fry walleye pike without drying it out?
Pat the fillets dry, season and dust lightly with flour, then fry in a little oil or butter over a medium heat for about 3–4 minutes per side, depending on thickness. It is ready when opaque and flaky, or when the centre reaches 63°C.
Does walleye pike have lots of bones?
Fillets are usually sold with the main bones removed, but fine pin bones can remain. Run your fingers along the flesh before cooking and pull out any bones you find with clean tweezers.
How should you store fresh walleye pike?
Keep it covered in the coldest part of the fridge and cook it within 1–2 days of buying. For longer storage, wrap it tightly and freeze it; thaw it overnight in the fridge before cooking.
What does walleye pike go well with?
Its mild, delicate flesh suits lemon, dill, parsley and a crisp coating. Serve it with potatoes and peas, or use it in a fish fry with coleslaw; avoid heavy sauces that overwhelm its flavour.
What fish can you use instead of walleye pike?
Pike-perch is a close alternative, with similarly mild, lean flesh. Alaska pollock also works in a battered fillet or fish pie, though its flakes are softer.
Is walleye pike a good source of protein?
Yes: a typical 159 g fillet provides 30 g of protein. It is also high in vitamin B12, with 2 µg per 100 g.
