Tried It! Liked It!
Any of you guys ever try Northern Pike? Bullhead Catfish? Largemouth Bass? I was upstate New York this weekend and one of my buddies friends had just come back from fishing and had one of each! So we cooked them up!  I had never eaten any fresh water fish other than trout, and never heard of anyone around here eating largemouth....someone told me it was tough? Never had catfish either, so I was fired up to try it. I actually liked the bass best....it was darn good! The Northern Pike was really good also as was the Catfish. I have never seen a Northern Pike before in person....damn sharp teeth on those bad boys!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Wow, I can't believe Larry liked anything. That's as good as a verbal hug there buddy!
I've had largemouth as a kid, but never Northern Pike. I've had catfish several times and like it.

Catfish is actually REALLY good in Fish Chowder....doesn't fall apart like other flaky fish.
The only knock i have on Freshwater fish is that they are too boney....otherwise they taste fine

We used to ice-fish pike just out side of Boston, Larry. I made a video of my father-in-law landing 4-5 36"+ one after another. This was 15-20 years ago and we had that spot all to our lonesome. I thought it tasted very similar to striper. Was boney but good.

Larry, I had a largemouth last summer. It was some of the best tasting fish I have had. Very white and flaky and not very fishy tasting.

I still largemouth fish and pickerel .. Got 2 nice pickerel so far this year 36" or more .. both on black spinner bait.. I believe this state recomends you don't eat the fish out of local ponds .. mercury and so on .. Too many polluted to list.. I'm fishing bog ponds. They spray pesticides from helicopters in ajacent field .. fish thrive there though..
