How to fillet and cook redfin perch

[@damianshale4567]

You're calling it done, I'm calling it yum! Another great video, thanks Robbie.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much mate.

[@moomoo9611]

Absolutely brilliant There are tons of clips on how to catch fish but not enough about how to enjoy them on the plate. After all isn’t it why we fish . Simple and to the point. Thank heaps Love your work

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much mate. Absolitely it is.

[@chriscoyne4827]

You filleted the fish the way my father had taught me I think it's the best way I would never find a better way to do top stuff mate keep them coming.

[@robbiefishing]

Hey Chris thanks so much mate. I learnt from my father as well. He usually carves around the ribcage, even on smaller fish, but I prefer to cut straight through them.

[@johntaylor5767]

As a beginner at this fishing game and keen to get my grandkids outside, fishing, camping etc this vid is excellent. 10/10 Robbie 😊

[@robbiefishing]

Thank you so much for your kind words mate.

[@nbaclips8881]

Robbie that’s so helpful and I loved the intro.

[@robbiefishing]

Haha thanks so much Riley. Just keeping it random. LOL

[@expatalan6511]

Never seen that filleting method but I like it. It is low waste. As for Redfin the only fish I like as much is Atlantic cod. That’s how highly I rate it. Great informative video. Thanks 👍🏻🇨🇦

Hi Alan thanks so much mate.

That Brown Snake blade looks awesome. I could go the same knife but two or three times the size

[@robbiefishing]

Hey mate he can custom make them for you. He's a 16yo young man that is absolutely gifted.

[@SPHARKS11]

Great video, how I miss a feed of Reddies. We grew up on them along the Murray. After cleaning Mum used just pull the skin off them and leave the centre bone in. The flesh would just fall off the bone. Love you work Robbie.

[@andrewjerin4048]

I agree with the last comment about the butter , much heathier , they told us lies when we were kids. Also you can cut the fins off near the head when you cut the head off, but you probably knew that. Also I cut the other fins near the back, off buy tearing them off backwards with a knife , try it it's easier. Love your fishing

[@davidsteer8142]

Word of advice for ‘manky’ cutting boards. Buy a pack of those Milton tablets for baby bottle sterilisation. Soak them for a few hours and the smell will go away. And yes I agree that a good filleting technique will still get a fish finger from a small Redfin. My filleting differs from yours in that I don’t gut them or cut the head off, but rather take the fillets off the whole fish. (I was taught by an ex pro fisherman). Just a whole lot of less steps when you become competent with a knife, and that helps with an Adam Gilchrist cricket score of Redfin to clean. Also if you struggle to make a clean incision on the second fillet ( because the fish is missing one side), you can actually start the filleting cuts on both sides of the fish before removing the first fillet. This will help prevent the ‘the first fillet came off well but I destroyed the other side’ dilemma.

[@tonycollier2756]

Herb and garlic crumbs are the best buddy by far since getting onto them never turned back always got couple of boxes well done good feed Robbie

[@JasonR1998]

Perfect video, just what I needed after “trying” to fillet Redfin. Hopefully next time I can remove all the bones! Thanks for sharing Robbie 🙂

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much Jason. Once you do a few you will become good at it very quickly.

[@stevenslavicek9711]

[@robbiefishing]

Haha thank you so much mate. I'm actually using that intro on a video that I am filming today. Haha

[@oli_large]

Great video last week I filleted my third flathead and I’ve filleted a reddie before but I find every time I’m getting better and better from these video and I don’t feel bad keeping a feed knowing that I will not waste a lot of meat

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. I watched a mate fillet a flathead back in November when I went Saltwater fishing. I was amazed at how much different it is to filleting redfin.

[@chriscoates2399]

Good job , CLEANING AS YOU GO good advice . Thanks robbie

Really great down to earth video! Awesome explanation of how to fillet redfin, you’ve definitely hit the nail on the head for a simple yet tasty way of enjoying a fresh catch of fish. Thanks for the pointers! 🎣 👨‍🍳👍

[@robbiefishing]

Hey Adam thanks so much mate. I reckon fish is something that many people ruin by overdoing it with fancy extras.

Great Video Robbie definitely learned a few things! thanks for the shoutout, your definitely whipping that knife around better than I could, great to see it getting a workout!

[@mfanwelikeit3760]

I highly recommend either using butter or a bit of lard for the frying. It’ll taste delicious!

Great vid mate, I have been wondering how to do a redfin for a while

[@Lightning-zd2qm]

This is just what I needed! 😁 I want to surprise the missus with some redfin, she's never tried it. She prefers ocean fish. I said to her, I've had it and trust me, they're bloody good eating! She'll find out! 😎

Hi Robbie thanks for reaching out I'm ok Congratulations on going full time on KZbin.

[@bpfishing2509]

Hey Robbie mate a tip is after 1 side is cooked the find out if the other side is 100% cocked poke a fork into in if it slides threw very easy it’s done

[@robbiefishing]

Hey mate thanks for the great tip.

[@Kearnesy]

Thats actually a different way how i usually fillet fish but i think it will be alot easier thanks Robbie

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. Theres quite a few ways. I reckon this is the easiest, but maybe not the quickest.

[@Kearnesy]

I have an aquaponics system witb jade perch (barcoo grunter) they are a similar shape to redfin just a bit bigger than the ones u caught and the way you showed to fillet them will be so much easier

[@pumpkinboi48]

Wish I seen this a couple of hours ago. We did a bit of wet waiding in Hume this afternoon, we must have caught 70 fish. We kept 12 and took the fillets off earlier this evening. (The slow way Lol)

WOW Gaz that's awesome. A great day for it. I done a bit if wet wading in the river here this evening too.

[@cavekritter1]

Maaag nifficent! Thought id never hear that again!! Thank you robbie for the rabbits....er...redfin!!

Hopefully put your filleting idea to use after tomorrows trip mate. Have you ever added parmesan cheese to your crumb, just adds that little bit extra to the taste 🤙🤙

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. Good luck tomorrow. No mate, I've never tried that. Something for me to consider.

[@comeatmebro3229]

@@robbiefishing another good way to do it is get some chips, i like the kettle salt and vinegar or red rock deli lime and cracked pepper and crush them up and use them as crumbs, no need for seasoning because its on the chips

[@julianigoe1291]

Hey Robbie. I loved your instructions. However I am a butter kind of fella. I will always use butter over marg, with a little olive oil to stop the butter burning. Those fillets looked very tasty I must say.👍👍🍻🍻

[@robbiefishing]

Hey Julian thanks heaps mate. Yeah a few people have said that. I have honestly never used butter. LOL I wouldn't know the difference. I think I better buy some next time I'm at the supermarket.

[@robbiefishing]

Haha thanks Dane. I find it takes me longer with larger fish when I try to cut around the bones. I have even used wire cutter when filleting cod years ago to cut through the ribs. Haha These days I can cut around them. In saying that I've probably kept about 3 cod in the last 20 years. Haha

Could you gut and clean a Redfin and wrapped it in foil on coals or even a camp BBQ..??

[@mudrox05]

Hey Robbie 👈.... Nice job mate!!!! Just a bit of a hint, Left Hand is for battering/egg/flour, Right hand for crumbing that way you keep the wetness out of Crumbs and keeps lumps to a minimum. Right hand should stay dry throughout the whole process. I guess you were probably holding a camera with your right hand.... Bon Appetite!!!! Cheers 🍻🍻🍻🍻👍👍👍👍

[@MOREENGINEERING]

Hi Robbie, can you please rate THE "BIG 4" fish. Cod, Yellas ,Redfin and Trout. I love trout and Redfin but never tried Cod or Yella. Your opinion would be highly valued please. I have never caught a keepable Cod and have left myself guessing how good or bad they taste. Yellas on the other hand, I have caught a few around 40-45 and have been tempted to keep one and give it a try, but always release them.

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate, thanks so much for the great video idea.

[@andrewjerin4048]

Hi mate fished for reddies for ....40 years, great vid I'd just cook em in natural butter, so much healthier, just look at the latest studies, or the French!

[@brett174]

Totally enjoy your channel Robbie. But, margarine? Use butter. If you think it'll burn then add a little olive oil first. Never, never, never use margarine.

[@brett174]

And keep 1 dry hand, and 1 wet hand when crumbing.

[@TheOutbackFisherman]

Wait, margarine and butter are different 😮

[@brett174]

No way. One is one step away from plastic, the other is natural. Surely they are indiscernible.

[@lucasprunt7960]

should i scale the fish? or is that not necessary because i am skinning it?

[@robbiefishing]

Spot on mate, not necessary if you skin the fish anyway as the scales come off with the skin.

[@MOREENGINEERING]

Hi Robbie, another great vid. Thankyou :-) A question if I may, how small do you keep your Redfin that can be filleted like your demonstration? Thankyou. Love your vids, highly entertaining and plenty of good info ;-)

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. Generally speaking you can fillet redfin at any size like this, but you get to a point where you have to wonder whether it is worth it for the amount of work involved for such a small amount of meat. The smaller fish in this video are probably about my lower limit.

[@Nudgeworth]

Hi Robbie. I have to ask, what about pin bones. When I've been preparing Redfin in NZ, I've always removed the pin bones. I noticed you didn't. Does that mean I have been wasting my time? Or does it depend on the size of the fish?
