Pickerel — a freshwater species of the pike family (Esox) — is classified here when entered fresh or chilled in whole or dressed form, with fillets, livers, and roes excluded. The NESOI qualifier indicates this line applies when no more specific provision covers the particular pickerel species or presentation. Pickerel is a niche commercial species in North American inland fisheries, and imports are limited in volume; Canada is the most plausible source given the species' range, though no supplier data is available for this line. FDA prior notice and seafood HACCP requirements apply to all fresh fish imports, and importers should confirm species identity to rule out classification under a more specific pike or perch provision.
