7. pike, also called pickerel

Ooohh...... Is that ever a regional can of wroms!!!

Around here, no member of the pike family is classified as a walleye. The Walleye itself is a member of the perch family, and is also related to the sauger. Other than both having teeth, they bear no resemblence to pike.

However, both can be darned tasty!! :chef:

The perch family is a large one, with about 140 species in North America alone. The walleye (Stizostedion vitreum) is a close relative of the yellow perch, sauger and the darters. It is known by many common names such as pickerel, yellow pickerel, yellow walleye, pike perch, wall-eyed pike, walleye pike and core.
