This is going to save me time on gutting. Just started fishing myself got a couple rainbows yesterday. Any recommended blades for this I was using my pocket knife.

Rapala makes a great inexpensive fillet knife. Just want a little flex, pocket knives are too stiff

I used to think that too, but don't knock it til you try it. If you do it right, it's very efficient and recover 95%+ of the meat.

The method is fast but your yield is terrible. You are wasting an incredible amount of meat. After a good fillet job the carcass left behind should be almost see through when you hold it up to light.
@danbrooks70867 ай бұрын
I hear that all the time, and I used to think the same thing just as a knee jerk reaction when I first saw it. But Ive been converted. If done properly this method will strip 95% of the meat. What's left behind is negligible.

Thx for vid. Novice here working in grocery store seafood [culinary bkground but not too much seafood emphasis] but learning through practice, watching more expert peers carefully, the grocer’s training vids, and ones like your’s. Q: Do you wear cut gloves? Maybe since I’m new + major US grocer provides them we use them. I do this:Non latex glove +cut glove+ another non latex glove on 1 hand. Thank you for this informative clip. Watched a few times. Appreciate the rationale and explanations accompanying the cuts

Your 30 seconds or less fillet technique was very impressive. I hear there's a guy around that same Crystal Lake area that fillets his meat in 30 seconds or less as well... Only he typically uses a machete.

I ordered two of these based on the reviews. kzbin.infoUgkxqmKabisEv81ul5v7OhvVxxOpt2CJruI- Received them on time and they look good. I really like the handle on these knives as they feel good in my hand. I'm giving them 4 stars on look and feel, but have not had the chance to put them to the test yet. I mostly fish for catfish and can hopefully try them out in the next few days. If they hold an edge throughout a limit of catfish, they'll be worth another star.Update...I used the 9" strong and the 9" fillet on a mess of catfish. I did put a sharpening on these before I started. I want a razor edge to fillet fish but they weren't quite that sharp. The people who gave these knives crappy reviews and said they were sending them back was because they weren't razor sharp. So what, do they not have a knife sharpener?? Good grief! I mean you have to sharpen any knife from time to time.I personally like them and am pleased with them. If you're too lazy to sharpen a knife then hire someone to clean your fish lol.I've never bought a knife in my life that would shave hair right out of the box. Don't be afraid to purchase the knives. They're pretty nice in my opinion.

I tend to just cook the trout whole. Removing the bones once its cooked is extremely easy. Dont waste any meat with this method too.
@TimE-bc9ez Жыл бұрын
Were the fish dead before you filet them?
@danbrooks7086 Жыл бұрын
For sure. It's actually easier to fillet if the fish are a little stiff from rigormortis. If they are too fresh, they're kinda soft. You need a good stiff backbone to run your knife down.

What is the proper way to dispatch the fish if you aren't cleaning them riverside?
@danbrooks7086 Жыл бұрын
I bonk them on the head. Usually I just turn the fish upside down - this disorients them and they stop struggling - then wack their head on the seat or edge of the boat. I know others who use a little club to dispatch fish.
@SammyBenitez Жыл бұрын
I’ve watched this enough times I might actually remember how to do it soon! But eating filets is much more pleasurable and less time consuming than to try and consume the trout whole.

Are you not gutting the fish, cutting a slit in the belly, and pulling all the organs out???
@danbrooks7086 Жыл бұрын
Nope. No gutting. If you gut it the fish won't lay properly to fillet. I have filleted them after gutting but it's a pain as you'll have to trim out all the rib bones

you still have to deal with the pin bones. that is no different from fileting a fish without them.
@danbrooks7086 Жыл бұрын
Depends on the size of the fish I suppose. At a certain point the pin bones are too big to dissolve when cooked. But on average rainbow trout pin bones aren't noticeable

And that, folks, is how you filet someone else's trout. Wasted meat, still full of pin bones, this is the quickest yet dirtiest way I've ever seen someone filet a fish. Seems good if you're in a hurry, otherwise I think I'll stick to, ya know, actually fileting them instead of just carving a chunk out of a fish and calling it a day.
@danbrooks7086 Жыл бұрын
I hear the wasted meat complaint frequently, and I thought the same thing at first, but once you get good at it you really don't lose much. And yes, up here where we have to clean dozens of trout each day, fast matters! Did you see the bucket of fish! Quantity isn't a problem for us, it's the quality of the fillet that matters and this produces the cleanest fillet without a hatchet job trying to carve every bone out
@bensmall2602 Жыл бұрын
@Dan Brooks I can see why you do it this way when doing a ton of fish that you aren't going to eat for a business. But with all due respect I would rather just clean them myself if the filets will be small and full of bones. And on the wasted meat front, I have eyes man. I'm sure you've gotten more efficient over time, but that fish objectively has more meat left on it than most other fileting methods.
@danbrooks7086 Жыл бұрын
@Ben Small there are no bones in my fillets. The pin bones dissolve. On really really big trout they can be pulled by running your knife backwards on the fillet to raise them and then pick them out. All the best fishing!
