just a quick tip.. If you're washing your hands after handling fish, always wash them in cold water.. Hot water opens your paws and allows the smell to penetrate your skin..

[@sexybatman2638]

Not me watching an awesome and humble dad show his filleting setup when I live hours away from any body of water🤣 Cheers from Nevada, US

[@Hahehhwgajshah72726..]

That’s the Taj Mahal of filleting tables compared to my Bunnings table and bucket.That table has more bling than my entire house.

[@k.p.1139]

Shoot, that would be my veggie processing area as well! I make a MESS processing tomatoes. 😆😆

[@tiller_gorilla7220]

Next to my sink i got a 25L bucket and went to asian supermarket and found a large plastic colander to put over the bucket so all the guts and crap go in that. The juice that strains goes in for fertiliser and the guts get churned in a mincer with dry bread for burley for next trip. Sometimes easier to freeze the guts for an hour or so so it gets chopped up easier. The mincer is just one of those hand turning ones that clamps on to the edge of a table

[@m-m8835]

Extra top tip. Sink strainer for solids and get yourself a squeegee so that you can quickly remove waste, blood, scales etc

[@jaytango3594]

Nice set up. Appreciate the links to the manufacturers.

[@GlennAston]

Really nice setup. I'm looking to set one up myself shortly. I recommend a $2 squeegie from Bunnings, makes keeping the cutting board cleaner. I also bring back 15 litre container of sea water to rinse my fillets in. You could build a shelf above the sink and just use gravity to rinse your fillets in the sink.

[@Oceanic_Adventures]

Good setup, just try and avoid where possible any fresh water touching your fillets

[@1973JasonT]

Hey Mark, consider adding an "insinkerator" waste disposal unit to the sink. You can mulch up your frames and guts, left over bait etc, into paste, and use it in your garden, or freeze it and use it in your berley pots :)

[@elenidemos]

Raise the chopping board on the nearest edge when not in use. Stops water from sitting at & under the board (stops bacteria & mould from growing in that area). 5-10mm is plenty.

[@ANDYYSHAWW118]

Awsome vid very informative! Just gotta say what caught my attention the most was when you said just using as a bait knife or you no murdering fish and that type of thing! Hahaha 😂

[@garybannack1823]

You don’t go half way on anything! I guessing that the next “improvement will be a screened enclosure to keep the bugs away while you’re cleaning. I’m jealous! 10:55

[@GaasubaMeskhenet]

If you do Ikejime be sure to watch the vox video about it. (There are some bad tutorials and you really don't wanna mess it up... you can't even trust the instructions from tool providers sometimes!)

[@temarikel8674]

I really like your setup. Not looking to ruffle any feathers with stanlessflatpack, but just a money saving tip, especially since commercial kitchen equipment is notoriously expensive. I work for a demolition company, and every time we gut a restaurant kitchen (or whole building demo), we literally just separate the stainless and scrap them. One can conceivably call their local demo guy, and find out if any restaurant jobs are coming up. The flip side is they get rid of the stainless for pennies on the dollar. Also if you're only using primarily for fish cleaning, maybe skip the copper and go with pvc pipes to save a few bucks.

[@selfsuffishingme]

Great tips thanks 👍🙂

[@benjaminlucas22_22]

Brilliant set up

[@robetocarls9266]

Buy yourself a window squeegee for the board you’ll never look back

[@ductman3221]

Hello Mark, I enjoy both your channels! I’m not a fisherman myself, but your videos on this channel make it look tempting to start. I enjoyed that photo of you in the military as a young man. I love military history and that was a nice little thing you threw in! Wishing you all the best from the United States!

[@walterwhite5738]

Great set up mate but for the effort I would just chuck out the misso from the house for the afternoon or just use the local cleaning tables. Fresh water shouldn't be used to clean fillets btw.

[@MandyOnderwater]

Looks good Mark, can't wait to see it in use again!

[@isaiahraybreeden4228]

Nice set up!

[@joetheox1202]

Lovely looking mate. Now we need a 3hr long filleting live stream 👍

[@michaelpagoda9395]

Not too much of a issue outside I guess but the spluttering hot water system is caused by a buildup of hydrogen gas. This happens when the hot water system isn’t used for a while the sacrificial anode emits hydrogen as it corrodes. Seen a few washing machines explode after home owners return from holiday and put on a load of washing. Boom Nice setup

[@Kearnesy]

Great set up. Some fishos say never to use freshwater on saltwater fish fillets it takes flavour away. Ive never had the issue tho

[@karlfranks6827]

the best table quality fillets use ice cold clean seawater, helps bring the fillet temperature back down very quickly after filleting as well. Fillet, wash, drip dry in fridge for few hrs then cryovac . I usually fill up a 20ltr drum on the run back to ramp.

[@turbostyler]

@@karlfranks6827 Fillets are never meant to get wet. They should be perfectly dry no seawater nor freshwater should be on them as the water introduces bacteria.

[@malcolmcheyne3803]

Ya gunna have to catch a LOT MORE FISH to justify that setup Mark !!

[@copiousroy]

Nice setup Mark, hope to get something similar together at my place soon. Cheers for sharing

[@andymorel4645]

Hi Mark, quick tip to wash your hands and the all cleaning station use lemons 🍋 it really get the smell of everything very good for cutting board.

[@turbostyler]

Great setup Mark. I have pretty much the exact same setup but inside my shed. I had considered outside but I didn't want to deal with mozzies, sun, and I can fillet at night. I don't use the water much at all inside and I collect all the guts and scales and put them in a bag which I freeze then chuck in the bin on bin day. How do you go with bush rats around the filleting table? You'll probably find the more you fillet the more they'll start to hang around.

[@AbstractPragmatism]

Awesome set up Mark! I'm sure we can expect a video in the next month or two about how you're going to extend the table to fit the jumbo fish you're catching, yeah? Love both channels, keep 'em coming!

[@limeybonesjones7395]

LMAO this is better then my actual kitchen

[@StuinOzzy]

Howdy - couple of things here (my opinions and you know about Arseholes and opinions right) FWIW - That Flatty was a big girl - anything over 60cm is a female. Law in Qld is a slot 40-70cm so you can keep it but the smaller ones taste a lot better. Second thing is chlorinated water to wash fish is not great - I use salt water that I bring home. Keep up the good work.

[@joetheox1202]

I always thought his tank water was rain water? We get chlorinated stuff through the mains over here.

[@fishing420ful]

Small Cobia ?

[@adammcgeorge3538]

Nice set up Mark, now the catch size needs to grow to fit on The lovely long cleaning table, Mackie Season ready, bull shark approved, super stuff!

[@selfsuffishingme]

Thanks Adam! If I could ever catch a Spanish to fit our cutting board, I'd be a happy man 😁👍

[@user-jn6wu5iv9m]

I hope your removing your board on ur station and cleaning side and underneath as well lots of ppl including catering staff even forget that. Bacteria has legs it walks when it grows. *Another hint from Eudunda SA
