When it comes to table fish, pike often get a bad rap. I’ll admit, the softer meat from a good sized northern caught during the heat of summer doesn’t exactly thrill my tastebuds, but throughout winter and spring, the firm white flesh of these toothy critters is right up there with my favorite freshwater species to eat. One of the best ways to enjoy these fish, in my opinion, is in a curry. After you hit your limit, take a trip to Thailand with this super easy and fragrant green curry. Just watch those Y-bones.

I live in rural Southern Alberta, where the edge of the prairie meets the foot of Canada’s awe-inspiring Rocky Mountains. I grew up here, and after a quite a few years spent abroad, I eventually made my way back to my roots to realign myself with the community that raised me.

One thought on “Pike Green Curry

  • This looks like an excellent recipe, and one that I will definitely have to try. I have only ever had pike fried and battered, but this looks like an interesting new take. I love fish and spicy foods, so it just makes sense to combine the two.

    Thanks for your time!
