Thread: Filleting for recovery

NICE! I had a nap after flushing motor/cleaning boat

I couldn't agree more on the filleting for eatting fish

The one cut only gets used on my boat for the bait


Good pics to, and simple directions.

Thats pretty similar to what I do ,hate to waste any of it.Guys I give my heads n frames to complain my fillet knife is too sharp .
The guy down the road won't complain . Only difference I can see ,I leave the belly flap & bones on the fillet & remove the wings with that attached(my work lunches) & always leave the skin on.Keeps the fish a bit more moist when cooked. Not 100% boneless but I don't like to waste fresh fish.A long tapered blade is the go for filleting ,I use a kitchen knife I modified on the grinder to get the right shape.Bit like a long boning knife.

I do it the same way VC, less mess and no bones. A bloody small fillet however.

Nice VC. I do take it you are eating these straight away if using fresh water as lube?

90% of the time,dont freeze bugger all just eat fish till its gone usually

Its only to keep the knife wet your not hosing the fillets with it!

Car pie. I often smash all the filleting at once so the fish may stay in the fridge for a couply days. All gravy mate
