I've only kept and eaten pike once... I did not like it.
The texture is very firm and flaky, kind of like salmon, but maybe a bit too firm and flaky for a white fish for me. And there was an aftertaste... like you ate the fish and it was fine, but then it kept on tasting and tasting -- not for me!!!
For reference, my fave white-type fish is haddock. Sole is nicely flavoured but too soft textured for me. Cod is a decent substitute for haddock. Pollock has the right texture for me, but the stuff you buy in the stores here often has "fishy" overtones, which I think means we just get the older stuff, I bet pollock is very good if fresh off the boat.
