Pike with Caper Sauce Recipe.
The pike has lean, low fat, firm flesh, which is yellow when raw but flaky white when cooked. One disadvantage of the pike is that it is bony. They inhibit fresh waters but its flesh is as nutritious as that of saltwater fishes. The pike is low in saturated fat, no sugar, very high in manganese, phosphorus, selenium, and in vitamin B12, high in calcium, niacin, potassium, and in thiamin.
