Tips:

  • Choose the freshest pickerel possible. Fresh pickerel will have a firm, shiny body and clear eyes. Avoid any fish that has a slimy or dull appearance.
  • Soak the pickerel in milk for 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove any unwanted flavors and make the fish more tender.
  • Season the pickerel liberally with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Cook the pickerel until it is cooked through. The fish is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook the fish, as this will make it dry and tough.
  • Serve the pickerel immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for pickerel include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.
