I have filleted the pike, left the skin on. Removed the rib bones, cut the meat vertically in 1/4" thick slices from backbone to skin, but not through the skin, then cooked in hot oil. The hot oil seems to dissolve the "Y" bones.

I'd try the way you normally would cook the pike, but try one piece like that and see how it turns out.
