Pickerel fillets

[capper]

I don’t eat fish and I know nothing about the price of Fish but I noticed an add In The paper today.
4- 6oz portions of pickerel $18.00

Might be worth a look, I’m kinda curious where the pickerel would come from?

Sounds like one fish cut in 4 pieces

My guess would be that pickerel probably comes from commercial fisheries in Manitoba. I was amazed when an Edmonton Superstore had frozen yellow perch fillets one time. They were from Manitoba.

when people say to me, "it would be cheaper to but fish from the super market than driving to catch a fish or two..." I always bring up the cost of walleye. I once worked out that the cost of a trout my dad caught aligned with the grey trout sold at sobeys, would have netted him about 67 bucks. a trout I caught a glenmore reservoir a week ago was worth an easy 75 bucks at sobeys prices. I'm sure the C&R Peta crowd will chime in to inform me of my bad ways.

You caught a trout at Glenmore?

yes, and you can too.
with the lower levels down into the feeding grounds, your chances on getting a brute is much better than high water years. the murkiness helps a ton too.

I heard from a Fishmonger in Ontario that the very best source of Pickerel
(Walleye) fillets is from Winnipeg. He said that even if he can't order it in at
certain times from Manitoba, he won't even touch the stuff from Southern
Ontario because it is an inferior product.

I bought some of their fish last fall. Tasted old and the fillets were not deboned in the true sense. Also previously frozen.
I also thought that I would have thrown the fish back based on size of them as well.
There was a native fellow and Asian Lady that seem to be running the place. The fish were definitely from Manitoba.
They have a flyer and website to check out if your inclined but it's far from fresh caught.
