Hi
How close in taste is barracuda and pike?
I have never tried barracuda but find it difficult to find/buy pike where I live (living in the uk.. but I am swedish )
Someone told me that barracuda is pike but without the small bones.
We have always cooked the pike we catch in the oven with milky cream and horseradish.... LOVELY.

Barracuda is very different from Pike. Barracuda does not have the Y bones that Pike and other fish will have but it does have distinct gamey taste to it due to the bloodline in the fish.

You can smoke Barracuda and confuse it with the taste of Tuna. Therefore it does make good Tuna quality sandwiches. It is not always good fish for frying becuase of the natural oils. Frying is a delcate method and requires careful attention. Baked, broiled or BBQ is my method of choice when I don't feel like smoking them.[cool]
