poor mans lobster

looking for a recipe to make poor mans lobster out of northern pike,thanks for any help.

3/4 cup of salt
3 cups of water
Drawn Butter

1)Dissolve the salt and water mixture, you may have to double the recipie if you are using a larger pan just make sure fillet pieces are covered in water.

2) Cut Northern fillets into chunks (whatever size you want) place in salt water mixture and turn burner on high.

3) right before water comes to a boil remove from heat and drain water.

4) Pour drawn butter on fillets and serve.

I got this recipie while fishing in Canada for a week, I have found a 3-8 pould pike works really good for this. Remember you can over cook the fish, but you almost can’t under cook it. If you wait till the water has came to a full boil you will have overcooked the fish. Also this recipe seems to only work on pike I have tried with walleye and the meat is just too flakey.

Cut Pike into bite size pieces. Make sure bones are out.

Boil in 7 UP.

Draw Butter into a small dipping custard bowl.

Pull Northern out and dip pieces into the butter.

Not kidding.

The Dog.

7 up, mt dew, etc all work very well as a boiling solution. Gives the meat a slightly sweet flavor that is great with the drawn butter.

Even makes eelpout taste good.
