A chef once told me have a small plate of salt next to you when filleting. Dip your fingers in frequently and fish won't slip in your hands again. It works

I love a channel where the creator actually answers comments and interacts with viewers

Thanks. Unlike a lot of guys who seem compelled to flash their knife around like a Japanese hibachi chef, your calm, detailed, perfectly timed video is an excellent example of the old saying, "slower is faster". And a lot less wasteful of valuable meat.

You did an excellent job taking your time. You slowly show and explain the process so the viewer can see, hear, and absorb it all. Thank you from a fellow Wisconsinite.

I just randomly watched this video to see how to fillet a fish and struck gold with that squeegee trick! That is definitely worth a subscription! Thanks.

That's pretty much how my grand dad taught me 40 years ago.
I needed a refresh, we're going strong on White Perch this summer. 😁
I always keep the skin, I love cooking it with the skin on, I think it adds flavor, maybe in my mind I don't know lol
Thanks.

Many thanks. Just watched with my son (11 years old) and he executed your techniques perfectly. Fishing Merit Badge is about to be added! The fish he caught and fileted was a 16" bass. Reeled in, took off hook, iced down, filet.

Thanks, I act like I know what I’m doing but I don’t how to fillet a fish, great video!

This is the best fishing channel for beginners and other than fishing for bullhead back in SD, I'm a total beginner! Thank you!

[dawnhall]

Thank you so very much! Your explanation was perfect! I've been fishing for 48 years, but I'm now teaching myself to fillet 😊

Great video. I’ve been doing this way for 40+ years and it is the best simple filet way for speed and where you don’t have lots of water to clean up afterwards.

One thing if you haven’t tried is reverse and start from tail. If you have a sharp knife and a bigger fish like maybe a salmon you can easily go either way. Single slice from tail to first rib, along top of ribs to head and then slice and peel off ribs. I find it easier to do second side of fish that way.

This is a fantastic tutorial even for me as an older guy who has caught quite a few fish during my life but have never fileted any fish beforehand. Yanks for the lesson!

[davidrobins]

Without a doubt, the most instructive video on how to fillet a fish. Thank you.

[davidfinley]

I've been catch and release all my life. This is what I needed. Thank you!

[gypsybev]

Worked like a charm! Thank you. It's my first fish fillet, I'm adding it to my fish chowder.

[davidwood]

I really like this presentation, a top job .

Love to follow your videos. I think you explain the techniques you do so well. And you are great at it. Keep teaching us, like I said you're excellent at fileting fish. Best Regards.

I have that same knife and it’s awesome! It works well on trout, flounder, pompano and even black and red drum!
