how do they taste ? i never really care much for fresh water
fish....
Oooooooo ..... cold water walleyes are one of the best tasting
fish I've ever eaten. White, flakey flesh, like eating cod fish
fingers or fresh caught seabass. It's even more expensive than
salmon in pluto. I like it better than trout. Just dust it with
salt, pepper, dill and corn meal and dry em ....
Yellow perch, not so good. Pike are quite boney, but pike
cheeks, the jaw muscles bit, are a delicacy, they are like
scallops, springy and chewy. And I have caught pink fleshed
northern pike at certain lakes up in shield country before. So far
up north, the waters are pretty poor in nutrients and forage fish,
so the pike take to eating tiny fresh water shrimps up there, and
the flesh gain a pinkish, orange colouration like salmon.
But what you should do, is to try and locate artic char at your
local supermarket. It'll make salmon taste like sardines.
