How to fillet a pike .... one version.

| Make vertical cut behind head, down to,
but NOT through the backbone.
Turn knife horizontally and cut backward along top
of backbone. You should be able to feel the blade "clicking"
along the top of the "Y" bones. |

There is a row of small bones down the
center of this fillet. Remove them with a V-shaped, lengthwise
cut along each side of the center bones. |

With the backbone exposed, a series of
bones will be observed running parallel to it on either side.
Make a cut down and slightly inward along the outer edge of
these bones. Work down and over the ribs and remove the flank
fillet. Repeat for other side. |

|
| Cut fillet free from each side of
dorsal fin back to tail. There are no "Y" bones here.
Skin each fillet. You now have five bone-free
fillets. |
