How to Fillet a Whole Salmon : Techniques for Cleaning, Butchering & Cutting a Whole Salmon

[@LightWardBlue]

After several attempts using another method, yours has proven to be far superior. The salmon looked clean and tidy at the end and took me very little time to fillet. Many thanks Chef.

[@SmokeAlotmarij]

I work in a salmon fish factory in the fillet department, what this guy did is like the best you could get. He knows what he is doing and can be a teacher in my factory or any other fish factory! This is the truth

[@RogersPowell]

Wow! Thank you.

[@martinschinedu3173]

Here because I just got a whole Salmon

[@alexosenar3695]

Me too!🎉 Good times! My first ever

[@sassybee1760]

Me too! There's been some good offers in the supermarket and there's always a video to help you learn the skill.

Using the peeler to get the pin bones out is genius! I want to eat more fish for health reasons but always hated the bones that were left behind. Thank you!

I am supposed to be studying organic chemistry, instead I am watching how to fillet a salmon. Procrastination is awesome.

I was recently moved to the fish station at work and i used this video as my guide for Filleting Salmon. I'm the only one in the kitchen to use this technique and I can say I'm one of the fastest and least wasteful thanks to it. Thank you so much for this video.

This is the best explanation , to fillet a fish like Salmon, I have ever had before.

[@eyalshrn]

Great video. This is the first time I'm filleting a fish and thanks to you, the result was boneless and a lot better than those frozen salmons I used to buy. Thanks

[@RogersPowell]

You are welcome. Happy I could help.

[@vulcan1429]

The best minimalist approach I have ever seen in the internet! Thanks.

[@RogueReflections]

I just tried filleting and de-boning a Coho (silver salmon) I caught a few hours ago, from Puget Sound. Mine looked so sloppy, compared to yours. I will use your video as my training video. You retained so much meat.Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@chefgiovanni]

Rogers Powell It is good to see another Culinary expert online. I would grade you an A+ as my student or my teacher. I use a slightly different style on salmon with the same results. I prefer to use stainless steel fish tweezers. Thank you for using the fish knife in the video too!

[@RogersPowell]

Hi. Thanks watching and for the nice comment. I usually use a fish tweezers but that was my system D. Cheers!

[@KooKooforCards]

WOW !!!! That is a wonderful kitchen/salmon hack !!! A potato peeler to debone a salmon......pure genius !!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you so very much !!!! Hugs from Texas ❤

[@deadblood0]

Beautifully done, and a very clever idea to use a peeler to remove the last little bones! I'll have to try that myself.

[@RogersPowell]

Man you skinned and fillet that so smooth and made it look easy! I learned a lil something today, thanks

[@RogersPowell]

Thank you for visiting!

[@diplome1865]

Wonderful demonstration. I just purchased 12 whole salmon and will definitely be trying this technique. A new knife has definitely just gone on my Christmas wish list. One difference is that we do save the "collar" of the salmon for smoking.

[@RogersPowell]

Thank you for watching. Let me know how the technique worked out for you.

[@peteriscelotajs5181]

Bravo, Chef!👏

[@datoofairee]

Thank you so much for your advice . I also love the idea with the peeler to remove pin bones simply Brillant ! Bravo!

[@RogueReflections]

No, thank YOU., I never realized how much meat I wasted by cutting the head off and not following the contour. I have not been brave enough to try a salmon tartare, but I may soon. This is really a wonderful video. You utilize virtually all of the useful meat of the fish. Quite impressive! Bon apetit et merci encore

[@RStv-xf5iv]

[@Didgeridan]

Very strong technique. Well done.

[@alexkg1]

This is an excellent example of how to properly filet and minimize waste! Don't forget the collar and cheeks! Lastly you can also save the head and bones for delicious soup stock

[@RogersPowell]

+alexkg1 Hi thank you for watching and for the nice comment. Cheers!

[@Samwellum]

or you could do what I do and fillet right on the bank of the river or where ever your fishing and toss the bones and things back so other fish/ shell fish can have it.

[@Samwellum]

and he kinda wasted alot of meet when he cut of the fins because you don't have to cut that big strip off.

[@TrainedByTheLord]

+Sam Gritzke nobody wants to do that shut up

[@Elfm0nkey]

Ooh, didn't think of the peeler trick before.. Sure will be using that, very nice, thank you very much! I just love salmon, and since my husband doesn't like fish I get to eat it all, hehe! }:) By the way, your accent is adorable, I had no troubles understanding you!

[@bzipp365]

No 1 fish to eat....Absolute Fantastisch..... Good for all sorts of remedies.

[@PotzyMccoy]

Interesting trick with the peeler. I'm a barbarian. I use the same needle knose pliers to pull bones as I do to remove hooks and cut line.

[@johnwalters8686]

Blažek Me too!

[@chronosimbot]

I've been using the nail clipper to remove the pin bone but now I can use something else. Thank you :)

[@RogersPowell]

+Hae Yeol Min Thank you for watching!

[@ileanaflorea5020]

Great video!

[@bazlur-Vancouver]

Nice video. I can cut or clean salmon many ways as fast as rockets, but still you learn something from somebody. Like taking out bones with vegetable peelers. I normally keep bones and clean nicely fish scale nicely, but never take out skins. skins are more tastier when it is crisp . Two way is best and one with Japanese Deba knife and other north american thin fillet knives. I found to clean and cut the gut of any fish has great knife(small blade only ) is Swidesh Fishblade made by EKA. This knife is very sharp, but small blade. In america you can find many, but I like Kershaw Clearwater 7-Step Adjustable knife(made in Japan blade) and they sell made in tawian or China blade too(avoid those cheap steel)

[@jigadeekinley]

Bazlur Rahmi worked in an Alaskan fish company for a month. The Salmon came from the boat directly pumped to me. where scarred salmon would go to the canning, and vitamin prepping. And unscathed fish would be cut to filets. which i only did a short time. it wasnt rocket science, you basically saved as much meat of the fish as possible, by cutting away the rest. The fruit peeler as a deboner was the highlight of this video and the dudes snazzy french accent 😂😂

[@bazlur-Vancouver]

I did not worked any fishing company. It is just your way you do. It's come from your everyday work. some people do quickly and some fast.
