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.

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.

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.

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

I've been catching fish for many years but wasn't able to do more than scale and gut my catch Thanks to your tutorial, I feel confident enough to give filleting another go. Heading out on the water in a couple of days time. I'm looking forward to dealing with our catch when we get back to shore. Thank you for sharing and teaching.👍
