Pikes are a type of large fish. They are one of the more common types of large fish and weigh around 5 -7 lbs. You get them by active fishing with an angling rod in a lake. Pikes do not fill as much hunger as a trout or salmon; nevertheless, they are an important source of food. Roasting them on a fire luckily doesn't require any devices like a cooking pot or pan.
A pike is given to the player during the Living in the Wild course, during the Cooking quest.
URW Game Encyclopedia description
The official URW in-game encyclopedia (accessed by the F1 key) doesn't have a separate entry for the pike, but in the entry on Fishing, it mentions the pike and pike-fishing in the following paragraph:
The idea of fishing with weapons is to stand by the shore waiting for a passing fish and try to spear or club it. This fishing method is fruitful only with relatively big fish, and most often the catch is a pike. It's possible to try fishing with any spear or club this way, but tridents are specifically designed for it.
