Thread: Big filleting boards

I've been getting a few bigger fish recently and need a decent sized filleting board. Can't find anything much bigger than about 600x450, any suggestions?

Go see the fish processing factory in Greymouth....they will have big cutting boards they regularly replace.

Plastic chopping boards are normally just UHMWPE ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultr...t_polyethylene), so if you touched based with an engineering/ plastic supply shop, they should be able to sort you out with a custom size/ maybe even an offcut from a sheet. From a Google, these guys look local to you (if the big H = Hamilton), https://www.waikatobearings.co.nz/pr...ering-plastics

I can get you a plastic layer board 5/6 mill thick and 1.2x1.2 to start with

I used to tie fish that size up from a tree by their tail and fillet them . In some ways it was actually easier than when I eventually got a big chopping board

Is that a juvinile Bluefin? How are you catching them? Some top notch sashimi right there.

Yup little SBT. Towing lures. Great sashimi

Last time I mad a fillet board up i got sheet HDPE from PSP limited, the sheet from memory the sheet is 1200 x 2400 but they'll cut to required size lengthwise.

mate with a sawmill...a few guys on here have them...no issue to whip of a suitable slab..then season it ....
2nd the idea of seeing commercial guys ,heaps of places use it...

Supply Services in Chch will cut UHMWPE or whatever is your choice to size from sheet.

dont leave it out in the sun as over time it will degrade and fall to bits...mine did.

Save Barn

Recently did some kahawai....just used untreated ply n gave it a hose down after. Wood has a natural disinfectant/antiseptic in the grain...apparently

sheet of ply, good as the fish doesnt slide all over the place, started off with umphe and stainless and now all have ply, way easier with big fish

Ended up getting my hands on a 1200x700 flat stainless bench, seems like a winner for now. Cheers.
