nice snapper! i love that fish so much!

Awesome vid as usual, mate!! So I am totally with the most humane way possible of decapacitating (ickygun, etc.) the fish straight after the decision whether or not to keep it. I am also on par with putting the fish on ice (or in a saltwater slurry) right away and also bleeding the fish properly to preserve maximum quality of the fillets. Where I am still unsure is whether it's better guts-in or guts-out in the ice? Depending on the type of fish I try to utilize every part of the fish for stocks, coldsmoking, etc. apart from the non-edible parts of the guts. So what makes more sense at the end of the day? Is there any downside to putting the fish on ice guts-in?

[turbostyler]

Is the reduction in bacteria count due to the icing straight after the kill or is it due to the filleting technique? I'd say going from the look of the fish before filleting it would be the former.

Nice Snapper. Good to hear the T in fillet.

What exactly is a steel bay? Great video thanks

[edmoore]

i usually cut off head..scale it..gut..cut in half..and fry it in iron skillet. much better tasting than raw fillets.

So if your not on the boat or at the dock can u add salt to a bowl of water to rinse the fish off?

[lamzoozled]

On all fish? Regardless of whether it’s a freshwater or saltwater fish?

[derekhoward-anderson]

thank you 4 man mean or right all good

[hanoitripper]

Did u bleed the big snapper as it was killed?

[attilasiskovits]

Happened to me only if I didn’t gut the fish, left it ungutted in the fridge overnight and it was mushy I threw it away

[marlincandy]

If you’ve eaten fish from a fish and chip shop it’s been washed in fresh water

[peterbates]

why dont you gut the fish on the boat as soon as it is caught?

[Tangaroa]

That first fish looked like it was full of fussy nothing wrong with a bit of gut😂😂

I'm Sorry People..., has a Portuguese, when i see people cuting filets like this in a Snapper, i all the time ask to myself if you throu out the baley and the head of the fish. I say this because, if you do it, you realy don't know that the most tasty meat is there, on the soft meat of the baley and in the muscles inside the head. Soo, if you do it in a Snapper like that one, you'll take out the best meal, at list for one person. In Portugal, if you share a fish like that beetwen fishermans, the one who caugth it has the rigth to chose the head (best part for us). Any oey the fillet was very weel done. Best regards.
