That was excellent thanks John... Brought back some great memories of working up Byres Rd in Glasgow in Allan Beverage's shop in the 80's :-) I served my time in Geo Campbell & Son 18 Stafford St Edinburgh in the early 70's. Cheers mate B-)

[@TheFishLocker]

- Thanks mate. It is our pleasure. Please if you think any of your mates would enjoy and benefit from the video, share it on. Take care and have a great day. 😊👍🏻🐟

Ps, if you have too many mackerel, I reccomend a pate, wonderful, or mackerel tatar served on buttered sour dough toast, life will taste better with these treats.

Just got some fillets and a whole bass from Seabourne Fish when I was down there with my family a few weeks ago. Fillets for the girls on the BBQ and did the BASS on the BBQ also in a foil pasty with garlic butter, herbs and a splash of white wine.. Sooo tender.. 👍🏻 Got the chaps there to filet and scale the fish for me first. 👍🏻 😀

[@TheFishLocker]

Brilliant. They are a good bunch in there aren’t they. 😊👍🏻

I will definitely watch that again and buy the knife he recommends.

[@richardturvey8875]

It’s a victorinox fibrox 8 inch filleting knife, they do a 7inch aswell. Either are great knives.

[@TheFishLocker]

- As Rich says. 👍🏻😊🔪

That was a great episode. It really is a pleasure to watch those guys work. Thanks John.

All that skill performed with a £16 knife , awesome

[@TheFishLocker]

- Just goes to show doesn't it. I think that is why Rich and I get on so well, simple, no drama and cuts through the nonsense.

[@bradfordlulz5122]

I live and fish in Florida, love absorbing technique from across the big pond. Thank you for your content.

[@TheFishLocker]

- That is wonderful. I also love to learn. Take care and have a great day. 😊👍🏻🐟

[@EasterlyWind]

People always laugh at me when i say I cant fillet the fish I catch. Time to boil the kettle and learn Cheers fishlocker gang

[@TheFishLocker]

- That is exactly why I have made this video Terry. I picked the main U.K. species that people catch and like to eat. Please share it on if you think any of your fishing mates could benefit from the vid. 👍🏻🐟

[@EasterlyWind]

@@TheFishLocker will do mate thanks and stay safe

[@reggiebuffat]

@@EasterlyWind I never filet my fish because I feel that I get more taste out of the fish that way. Fileting once cooked is a breathe.

[@robertparker5271]

I've scaled my fair share of fish, that scaling underwater is brilliant! Learned something new, thanks

[@TheFishLocker]

- Never too old to learn new tricks is it mate. 😊

[@barthanes1]

I can't believe I never thought of scaling the fish underwater. I can guarantee there are 40+ fish scales sprinkled about my kitchen sink now.

[@TheFishLocker]

- Haha. It’s a brilliant little tip isn’t it!!

[@OutForACast]

Thank you so much for posting this video! Couldn’t ask for anything more and then the question about freezing... Great , no nonsense, to the point , once again, big THANK YOU!

[@TheFishLocker]

- Simple, honest and no drama. Thats what I like to see.. so thats what I make. 😊
