A lot of people pickle pike. They also steam with lemon/butter/pepper or fry them Cajun style. Perhaps redshirt can give you more than me. I prefer Walleye but there are many that like Pike over walleye.

That's exactly the kind of honest answer I was looking for, didn't know they were so bony, they sound almost as hard as filleting a carp... its like you need a true surgeon to make them edible.
Sounds like a fish I'd love to catch but would let go unless in an emergency, because of the difficulty in eating... but if I had to, yeah, I could pick those steamed bones clean.
