Well you usually don't just stick your knife in there and hurt all of the organs. You make a small incision, turn the knife upside down so the sharp edge points out of the fish and not towards its organs and then carefully cut along the underside of the fish. You also want to put your index finger under the pointy tip of your knife so it doesn't dig into some organs. Cut the wrong organs and this might spoil the taste of your fish.

[@yousefa2208]

thank u

[@justhuman4746]

Exactly ... I was shocked when I saw his gutting ...

[@justhuman4746]

and think about that this should be expert ... and if people are gonna watch this and they will do this it might spoil whole fish ... like catfish for example would be comepletly wasted ... :/

[@donkosaurus]

would rinsing out the fish like in the video help if you cut any organs?

[@lotfimaharsia4617]

Thank you

[@MinecraftCutiepie]

The most practical way I learned how to do it is to simply cut off the head and tail first (I hope you all agree that these two components will be useless in a meal, especially if you're after a fillet), and then place your knife in the convenient hole of the "throat" (now that the head is gone), and simply slice down its belly. This method allows you to easily open the fish and remove all intestines without the worry of puncturing organs that might spoil the taste of the flesh. My dad is a fisherman, and he taught me this way. I'm also Norwegian, and fish is like our main trade when it comes to food, so I think it's pretty legit.

[@russellwaring2354]

Great comment, thanks for sharing

[@tailor4636]

They had to change the fish because his organs started spewing out lol

[@stevocanuck]

lol nice find

[@Ganzbaff]

How to gut a fish "cuts to deep at first try"

[@nikosfilipino]

you guys missed out on a really important step: removing the gills. the gills are what spoil the fish the fastest and if done properly the removal of the gills will remove all of the guts in one piece

[@randimable0122]

I was a fisherman on a factory vessel for two years, and I can assure you that that's not the most effective nor the cleanest way of gutting a fish.

[@JamieOliver]

We are always interested in other peoples' methods. That's the brilliant thing about cooking - countries and cultures do things very differently and this is a great forum to share your technique. If it works for you, it deserves a thumbs up!

[@nealkinevil]

As a commercial fisherman for many years I can say this is not the right way to gut a fish. If I tried to sell my catch gutted like that I couldn't. Other than this one video this channel has taught me alot and it's always good.

[@thegreatwizard]

Perhaps you could have provided your method to make your comment more valuable than just naysaying.

[@TheSimplyJJP]

I assume this is not for selling the fish. This video is for people who are learning to prepare fish they bought for eating.

[@whatisthis8055]

My mom told me to a gut some fishes but I didnt know how, searched this up and it saved my life

[@BarisPalabiyik]

Fish expert that doesn't know how to gut a fish properly. Suuureeee

[@andrewkamov]

I actually gut my fish on the side of the cavity as opposed to underneath so I can stuff with ginger. Gills are also best removed because they are bitter tasting and cause the fish go off more quickly due to their blood content and high level of unwanted bacteria.

[@Paralars]

This is what I got from this video 1. open up the fish 2. gut the fish 3. don't forget to use a knife Great instruction...

[@blakec3456]

PSA: Last step is optional

[@Znam]

My dad guted fish many times and this is not how he do this. I'm kinda confused that such chanel made that huge mistake on a video.

[@JamieOliver]

This is a common technique. We love hearing your methods though, so please share!

[@Znam]

He gently cuts fish right below tail to create small hole. Slides knife through it and cuts belly inside out keeping mind to not damage any intestines. Slides blade straight to head. Wash insides from any blood and liquids. Remove guts. Nothing spilled, nothing accidentally cut or damaged. Tasty fish is ready to be prepared.

[@CookingLessonsforDad]

Thanks! Something I have been meaning to learn but didn't really want to.

[@JamieOliver]

Thank YOU for watching and leaving a lovely comment!

[@Abdulaziz-zu3mp]

Omg that is the hardest thing ever i finally find a guide for someone to help me GUTTING A FISH ..

[@CuriousFear]

That's not how you gut a fish lmao

[@JamieOliver]

This is the most common technique but please let us know your method too. :D

[@cycledance]

just search on youtube "how to gut a fish"

[@CM_Burns]

at least it scares vegans away.

[@cycledance]

i am a vegan.

[@schlam9320]

All i see here is a simply cleaned and gutted fish, Thanks for another awesome vid! Mostly i think it is about the direction of the knife, and is probably where the down votes are coming from.. In this video the knife is pointed in, most people would try and point the knife out. There are a few conceptions around this. 1, cutting into the organs could expose the flesh to bacteria and enzymes that could harm humans from the gut. 2 there is the potential that you could spoil the fish... Why? I am not sure.. Maybe do a video debunking those?

[@stevocanuck]

what's with all the dislikes? is it too "gut" wrenching for you? xD

[@lukewithann7256]

i see many people saying the way he guts the fish is wrong because he might cut into organs that contaminate the fish. so thats where the dislikes come from i presume

[@0tto777]

this is just about the worst thing you can do when gutting a fish. It's asking to cut open the intestines covering the flesh in s**t.

[@opwave79]

The pun was lost for a moment there, Stevo. lol...

[@JamieOliver]

Thank you for the light hearted comment! MUCH appreciated!

[@stevocanuck]

Jamie Oliver :D

[@egetamay6599]

This is a wrong way of gutting a fish. You might cut some organs with may affect the taste of the fish badly.

[@MrNobleme]

I got a question, might be stupid but... How to do you dispose the guts of the fish after gutting it, i mean i don't think you just dump it in the bin afterwards, cuz it will smell or something, do you just put it in a plstic bag then dispose it or what..

[@SmallManOnUniversalCredit]

the proper way to gut a fish is to put on your latex gloves and give the fish anaesthetic and slurp them out with a vaccum cleaner

[@TheRAMBO9191]

hmmm interesting. i usually gut the stomach just like this video however i then proceed to shove my penis into the stomach opening sliding the innards out though its mouth. it works!! very amazing

[@paulgastardo827]

I think you guys need to rethink this vid :) you cant just puncture the fish's organs like that (specially for avoiding contamination)

[@JamieOliver]

Bart is a pro and is very knowledgable in how deep to insert the knife. Apologies if this wasn't clear in the video. We appreciate your comment!

[@PsychoAxeMan]

great tip

[@JamieOliver]

Thank you!

[@ByCosaPhotography]

Thanks

[@JamieOliver]

Thank YOU!

[@nickminkin20]

incorrect

[@RyuFan1999]

Nick knows ^^

[@AmberKelley]

Thanks for the tip Bart!

[@connor559]

umm he definitely missed some stuff like the lining of the belly cavity...

[@terryworthy2474]

Jamie, you should rename this video "How not to gut a fish"

[@dungtran-nc8sw]

I never keep the head on but if you're going to please remove the gills. The gills are the fish's filtering system so there's going to be all kinds of nasty junk in there. I may not be a chef but I've been hunting and fishing my whole life.

[@brandonrichard3214]

nice

[@marus163]

How would cleaning the fish using warm water affect it?

[@Arnipll]

too hot water is bad ,

[@huss1205]

you almost cook it under hot water, fish meat is soft and don't need long time to cook, not an expert but I think this would happen...

[@carnifex2005]

That and it is a health violation in any western restaurant. Warm water is more friendly to bacterial growth.

[@THConnoisseur]

Cold means firm, firm is good.

[@JamieOliver]

Cold water. Warm water can both start to cook the fish and encourage bacteria. Rinse with cold. :D

[@yuraotclik813]

Hi, What kind of music is played???

[@zerocalvin]

this is how my grandma teach me... 1. remove the scale by scratching it with the back of the knife in the opposite direction of the scale.. 2. cut open the fish. 2.1. if the fish is pregnant (pregnant isnt the right word, but you know what i mean), dont cut too deep, you dont want to damage the roe sack 3. rip out the guts. 3.1. carefully remove the roe sack 1st if the fish is pregnant. 4. rip out the gills 5. wash the fish with salted water (she never actually explain why salted water..) i used to gut fish all the time but now days all the fish are gutted in supermarket...

[@andrewkamov]

If the fish comes from salt water yes wash it with salt water. if it a fresh water fish then wash it with fresh water. When we catch salt water fish we place it in an icy salt water brine to keep fresh (NEVER fresh water or its ruined). Dont know what the pro fishers do but sitting it on ice like like at a seafood shop does not do it any good either unless they salt the icecubes before freezing. :)

[@eldonpescador]

I can not believe that foodtube shows dis clip , maybe a chef with 30 years experience can make it like this but not a normal person! has jamie seen this clip? i dont think so!

[@JamieOliver]

We are sorry to have offended. Bart is an incredibly knowledgable and skillful fisherman, fishmonger and chef. If there is anything specific you want to know, please do not hesitate to comment. All the best.

[@coffeecotton]

Bart, how about a video on how to fillet and skin a fish, after gutting?

[@IanLoughead]

He's actually done those videos.

[@JamieOliver]

How To Fillet Fish | 1 Minute Tips | Bart’s Fish Tales kzbin.info/www/bejne/fF7YpYBvi62eeKc

[@IanLoughead]

Shocking as the internet trolls come out to hate on another 1 minute tip video. Zing!

[@JamieOliver]

It never gets old ;)

[@kensclark]

That's not how you gut a fish. This is the way I do it and it is really easy. You cut off the head at an angle slanting down and away from the gills, then you slice the bottom how he did, but only cutting the top layer of the skin, not cutting all the guts like he did. You then just pull out the guts, slice down the blood line, scoopt it out, and the rinse. It's really easy and takes less than a minute.

[@spikebaltar5071]

cutting the head doesn't count as gutting

[@kensclark]

It helps though

[@spikebaltar5071]

+Kenneth Clark Anyone can cut the heads off. easy

[@kensclark]

What's your point? I just said it makes the fish easier to gut.

[@spikebaltar5071]

+Kenneth Clark It's just gutting a fish, nothing fancy

[@deserteagle4715]

100% he is dutch he has my acsent haha

[@jundimulia3537]

what about the gills?

[@IrmaU94]

whats with the gills?

[@jundimulia3537]

Yep usually we remove the gills before cooking fish. i've removed them myself, but it was a pain in the ass.. If there's a tips to it, i'd love it.

[@IrmaU94]

I have never heard of that. Why is that necessary?

[@jundimulia3537]

Umm i think because the taste isnt that appealing. that's just how they prepare fish in my house 😊 Never really know how to remove them lol

[@ProjectPetri]

have the same sink as you :D

[@JamieOliver]

Excellent taste!

[@ProjectPetri]

indeed! :D

[@TheSupercheen]

I was expecting for the gills to be taken out. no?

[@ChukFlanagan]

that was savage

[@Just_in_Christ7]

How to know if you took out the poop shoot

[@treboretnilgam4981]

I just cut the gills and pull it out together with the entrails.

[@killerNL96]

dutch power!!!

[@xZanfis]

0:28 Everything is just comming out like an unstoppable earthquake

[@JohanGSolaqa93]

Vegamatics ain't gonna like this. Great video :)

[@sarahdarwish331]

Who else already knows this from The Bing Bang Theory?

[@mariaferrara2011]

I thought the same 😂😂😂

[@tigrissapphire915]

Please just look up another video about how to properly gut a fish. There are much better techniques that show how NOT to get fish poo all over your fish.

[@TheJoshSouthy]

this is a fish expert???

[@JamieOliver]

Have you seen his channel? Bart is awesome and extremely knowledgable about fish. Please do not hesitate to let us know if you have a query!

[@TheJoshSouthy]

I just feel like these are basic tips, also they swapped the fish out because the guts started spewing out.

[@HASU26]

Great video but I have to say it's not easy as it looks like :D

[@fredbar10drjones]

yeah, wow, I've only prepared 1 fish I've caught ever, and would never prepare it in this way. Where did Bart learn this horrific method?????

[@HeitorAmaral]

How to gut a fish: do the most obvious thing ever.

[@fredric8883]

For everyone who says somthing about this being the wrong thing to do, or something like that. I am 14 years old, and I have gutted ( bad english ) fish many times before, and it isnt that hard. ;) ( I am living in Norway by the way )

[@sAm8979]

Poor fish, it must be really gutted

[@gyro1488]

not enough information, didn't eve include about the bile and the eggs of the fish

[@29ihavenoname]

remove the whole thing. keep the eggs if desired. common sense. can't have jamie to decide that for you now can he

[@sotpotatis731]

What did that fish do to you?

[@aleramone23]

Dont do the initial cut that deep, just cut the belly skin. cutting the intestines and letting its contents out is one of the worse things you can do. you are letting out dangerous bacteria that can contaminate meat.

[@wendym1234]

After I would attempt this I would probably lose my appetite. 😂. I’d be afraid I poison people by leaving something in. I’d rather get fresh fish gutted from supermarket.

[@wasjuswa]

I thought that he was ed sheeran for a sec

[@jamesh8571]

Whoever is responding here on behalf of Jamie Oliver is either totally blind or has some serious front to remain defiant against the comments posted here. This guy may know something about fish - except how to gut them. Please continue as you were defending this video and his poor gutting technique

[@seemaprasad6677]

This totally massacres the fish. The Bengalis cut a small hole at the area near the bottom of the head and use the back of a spoon to pull everything out. That way you get perfect steaks of fish to make curry. In the shown pattern the breast part melts and only the back part is firm and tasty. Try it.

[@halle5145]

You haven't gutted the fish right.You needed to take out the the guts up the guts you pulled out.So that fish isn't good to eat.

[@lexthanexpected]

he chickened out on saying butthole

[@anotherone2950]

rozkaydan geldim like atanlari gorelim

[@hammy2.039]

So this is a phony vid? Would love to know the amount of dislikes

[@michaelperugini4199]

you did not show everything.. step by step.. gills, kidneys etc

[@Rick-Stone]

Wow, you're gonna block your sink with all that fish gut you threw in it... You could throw them in plastic bag and put it in a garbage can

[@justinkeyzer9221]

This video is why KZbin needs to show the dislike count

[@ohbbyilikeitrawr]

Smh why is this comment section always full of overly critical know it alls?

[@JamieOliver]

Hehe

[@cycledance]

what's so funny? this video is trash.

[@ohbbyilikeitrawr]

+cycledance I rest my case you bitter Carp.

[@aleramone23]

Because he did a very very basic mistake. you open the belly without cutting intestines, you just cut the skin. opening intestines and letting the contents out can spoil the meat with bacteria and you have the risk of getting some disease.

[@ohbbyilikeitrawr]

+Alejandro Medina oh well he got it on the second go. What more do you want?

[@SandraudigaVali]

damn that like dislike ratio

[@horacejohnson1730]

Dude...the head.... what about the head.... You can't eat that "chit"...it has eyes!

[@erikkitvisets213]

Wikihow is better

[@Kampfschaf]

Däschg geällt mirache

[@MsBake4]

Why is so hard? Explain please

[@JamieOliver]

It's not! Lots of people avoid doing it themselves, thinking it's a complicated process. Hopefully some people may give it a go! :D

[@jorisjanssen12]

Oke this guy is Dutch

[@JamieOliver]

Spot on.

[@Lemon_nnn]

This is terrible, especially from an 'expert'! Just jamming his knife in there, potentially rupturing the organs and tainting the flesh. No mention of the blood line and removal of gills if eating the fish as whole.

[@moonlight16178]

First

[@WinDillus]

Not correct but whatever

[@IrinaPti4kina]

похож на бездомного алкоголика фу-фу

[@johnb4264]

Absolute worst video does not help at all cut guts and spoil your fish great

[@dvid183]

I hope you are joking...

[@saskiar.7395]

Ive seen waaaaaaayyyy better tevhniques to gut a fish This is garbage

[@KiraWartooth]

put this video down! you're confusing inexperienced people like me! :(

[@JamieOliver]
