Pike Burgers

Pike Burgers

First you start out with fresh or frozen ground pike. I caught these two in the fall, about 3 lb each and Dwight cleaned them. Dwight does not bother cutting out the Y bones cause we just grind the pike up in a old manual meat grinder as soon as it’s caught and the extra goes in the freezer. There's nothing like fresh pike.

• 2 cups of ground pike
• 1/2 - 3/4 cup bread crumbs or crushed crackers.
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
• 1 tsp of your spice or spice combination, I use Kirkland Rustic Tuscan Seasoning from Costco.
• 1 small to medium onion
• 1 egg

And that’s it, mix together and fry up nice and brown in about 1/4 cup of butter. Get the butter starting to brown before you put the burgers in. You want it nice and crispy.

If you like tarter sauce but don't have any,  try mixing 3 tbsp mayonnaise with 2 tbsp relish and a squirt of lemon. If you have capers add 2 tsp
