Superb instructions, I have made the best fillets I have ever done. Thank you for that.

[@mohdariffarshad9362]

One of the best fish filleting skills video ever!

[@styga1969]

MOHD ARIFF ARSHAD agree

[@LexLuthor1234]

I agree, very clear and detailed instructions. Thank you for the upload! :)

[@leahadams8193]

Excellent instructional video. I've just finished filleting 4 wild Dorset bass. Couldn't have done it without your help. Many thanks to Duncan and Sue.

[@kaibrigance2631]

My god, what a sharp knife. I fillet a sea bass today, along with a red snapper, the sea bass was my second fillet and I butchered it, but I was very pleasantly surprised with how my snapper came out. It was my first not butchered fillet job. Than you for sharing!

[@blindhowlingdrunk]

Brilliant! My fist attempt was awful.

[@bormanbinkhairuddin1219]

One of the best video. Clear and prcise.

[@PaulHardy264]

Thanks Duncan, excellent video well presented with clear and precise information!

[@guryruewell9207]

Passionate about fish. Dave your a master. Just love your videos.

[@vibonacci]

that fish looks so amazing and I like this video starts with a fresh fish with guts and gills and scrubs and all, which is the cheapest way to buy the fish ofc

[@stephenboult]

Very clear demonstration, thanks.

[@phillipsjg12]

Wish I'd watched this earlier today, I just caught a 11lb 10oz bass this morning, didn't have a filleting knife wouldn't know how to use it anyway, till now.Ended up using my electric saw to cut it into cutlets cos my knife wouldn't go through it! We live and learn!

[@Jasongy827]

Clear and beautiful shot

[@jammin6816]

Extremely well done!

[@jimlondon]

Very helpful, thanks for posting

[@flarechop]

Great and informative video thanks

[@larrytan16]

Beautifully done, Thank you

[@2005Pilot]

Excellent Job!

[@desmay8882]

Thanks guys. Great video

[@rubataha7548]

Thanks , you clarified it perfectly

[@bradleysmith9431]

Old man taught me to use a spoon flip over upsidedown to scale fish, keeps the scales from flying around

[@SarinisIsiltra]

Great stuff with master peace performance Thumb up.

[@MyTurtleCollab]

Awesome, could you also post the after results? Like after you're done preparing it, show us what it looks like cooked and into a full meal

[@tips216]

The key to this is to have a damn sharp knife

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thanks.

[@lucasgomes7553]

well done mate

[@ThePokeCzech]

I couldn't remember. Is that a wild fish or not? ;)

[@dianeh2468]

This is really a really good video, what I would like to see you do is "how to fillet a cooked seabass" every time I order one in a restaurant I make a mess of it and waste loads of flesh. I recently had one in France where they prepared it for me and there was no waste just the fillet beautifully presented. It would be great to see how to do it

[@shaunpreston2839]

Yea he's good I just would off cut that top dorsal fin off first, that is very sharp for people that don't know!

[@styga1969]

Perfect 👌

[@robertcornelius8056]

Nice

[@OptimaMrL]

Top quality prep right there. Probably need to emphasise the importance of a sharp chef's or deboning knife

[@kbeesmot9928]

Why keeping mentioning for us to remember it is a 'wild sea bass"? Is the technique different for a farmed bass?

[@adammolloy6842]

How about placing a chopping board in a sink with water running directly onto the board, scales seem to stick to / move toward the board??

[@tattoojunk666]

4:02 making sure we dont get any blood stain on the flesh (meanwhile laying the fish in a pool of blood) 🤣 nice video either way👍

[@deloniusmonk4923]

yeah I thought that... but still. Good video.

[@MarioHernandez-ed2de]

What is a Fill it? :-) nicely done!

[@PastorPeewee20]

Am curious If you are fileting why do u remove the scales? Great video thanks enjoyed watching...

[@reginaldh48]

The scales go flakey in the oven and will make a mess of your dinner plate

[@macrick]

Hu mate, what type of knife are you using? Is it a fillet knife?

[@bcross7bc]

He is using a fillet knife. This has a flexible tip and is the right tool for the job.

[@pauldavies5655]

very nice , prefer the knife at the end taking the bones ,

[@supersingermarina]

What would happen if u ate a scale

[@AidaMay]

Doesn't it need to be washed after you gut it?

[@pavlovpropagandalf7517]

+Aida May Nope, you can just rinse off the final filet and then pat em down with some paper towel if you want.

[@WalkingPlatonic]

Those fish in the background having a literal window to watch you do this are getting awfully nervous

[@pacman4568]

Use the bone for making stock. Or steam it and give it to the dog.

[@jadeykinz1026]

Ate one of these a week ago for my birthday meal and got a bone stuck in my throat -.- nice fish though.

[@davidstorton910]

NICE TIP about scaling the bloody things in water, the scales get EVERYWHERE...!!!

[@tommybandiola9227]

crazy russian hacker voice

[@msbrianbo]

is that a wild fish?

[@suelucas1584]

Brian McNulty of course, why wouldn't it be? When this was made, quite a few years ago, there were no large farmed bass, only wild. It's still quite unusual to get farmed bass larger than 1kg, most are much smaller...

[@dw8773]

Sarcasm is hard to read, they say...@@suelucas1584

[@siegeism]

Exemplary

[@WolfFifteen]

Lol. He says beautiful way too much. ;)

[@stinam]

that fish is not wild its furious

[@funnylife3752]

it's pronounced FilA

[@SuperMongoose13]

'Filet', the French for 'fillet', is pronounced like that, but he's speaking English.

[@callumbarton7259]

FunnyLife 375 no it's not its pronounced "fillet" there is no accent on it only retarded Americans pronounce it as filA

[@bradleyholloway7461]

callum barton ur not wrong

[@adammolloy6842]

How about placing a chopping board in a sink with water running directly onto the board, scales seem to stick to / move toward the board??
