This is how instructional videos should be made. Brilliant.

Man , I've seen people that were good, but You Sir, are an artist!

[@LordMcMPA]

I get such an enormous sense of serenity watching someone flawlessly executing a craft like shown here. It was an absolute pleasure watching this and supremely instructional and insightful. Thank you very much!

[@simonknox5580]

That’s the best example of how to fillet a flat fish I’ve ever seen. Professional at work 👏👏👍

[@stenopushispidus2932]

I just had to pause the video in the middle and type a few things about this guy. It's very hard fro me to say that he is my role model cuz I'm 36 years old.I sometimes don't understand the words he says but his videos are so helpful. I am jealous of his knives and his knife skills.

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

Beautiful. I Just speared my first wild turbot but couldnt bring myself to fillet it, so I just steamed it whole with butter white wine and parsley. Magnificent fish.

[@thenewfoundlandgardner3916]

Great job on the filet, not your first one I see . Nice

[@MaggieintheRain]

That man has some wicked knife skills!

[@pennyosborne1137]

Brilliant video, I only needed one watch to fillet my turbot even tho I've never done it before. Thanks Duncan

[@ireneyoung8696]

I just find this so relaxing to watch.A Master at work.Thankyou Duncan.

I ordered two of these based on the reviews. kzbin.infoUgkxqmKabisEv81ul5v7OhvVxxOpt2CJruI- Received them on time and they look good. I really like the handle on these knives as they feel good in my hand. I'm giving them 4 stars on look and feel, but have not had the chance to put them to the test yet. I mostly fish for catfish and can hopefully try them out in the next few days. If they hold an edge throughout a limit of catfish, they'll be worth another star.Update...I used the 9" strong and the 9" fillet on a mess of catfish. I did put a sharpening on these before I started. I want a razor edge to fillet fish but they weren't quite that sharp. The people who gave these knives crappy reviews and said they were sending them back was because they weren't razor sharp. So what, do they not have a knife sharpener?? Good grief! I mean you have to sharpen any knife from time to time.I personally like them and am pleased with them. If you're too lazy to sharpen a knife then hire someone to clean your fish lol.I've never bought a knife in my life that would shave hair right out of the box. Don't be afraid to purchase the knives. They're pretty nice in my opinion.

[@cosettermn4521]

Don't try to fillet a fish without a fish filleting knife, you'll destroy it. To all beginners- invest in a good filleting knife, it's worth it. Get quality! P.S.- btw, great video, that's how it's done, bravo!

[@kimrunic5874]

How very expertly done, a pleasure to view

[@0siris777]

This video was incredible to watch; so user friendly. I am very inexperienced at seafood preparation but watching this gave me the confidence to try unfamiliar fish, and the way it was explained made so much sense. Thank you I have just subscribed to your sight

[@neilneilguiang8409]

For this recipe, you will need..... TURBOT!

[@killerfitz84]

Nice skills , pleasure to watch you work

[@joshwhite6950]

they look georgous just the way they are there

[@davidtaylor8822]

Typical me - just watched this AFTER filleting a large turbot. I think I did a decent job, but it took me a darn sight longer and didn't look half as easy!

[@cuculina100]

I love this fish but I have to say I prefere it grilled as it is;very usefull video, I must say

[@dan7533]

You make this look easy.

[@kanchour16]

Just brilliant m8 what a great video I can watch it over an over thank you for the tutorial

[@jansaglar8248]

Very skillfully done, looks easy........but I bet it takes some practice,

[@ritadaniels3881]

That’s very good so that’s how you can filitrer then you can do much better this way here turn it around to the right..,

[@wingmasterjimmy6724]

Could shave with that blade.,excellent demo.

[@cheddarfish225]

Great video. I am just about to go an butcher a turbot.

[@scud69er]

Great video! Very skilled

[@kodibassInsideoutboards]

I have never seen a one fillet, per side on a flat fish,,, kooooooool, I try this next batch I get thank you..

[@CraigArndt]

Gorgeous fillets.

[@willmacleod1742]

Woop there it is

[@Crooks103]

Great explanation.. nice clean results...

[@dogstar167]

lovely skill, beautiful to watch beautiful to eat.

[@YD-uq5fi]

The remainder of the fish still had a lot of edible material. What is the best use for that?

[@creamcheese3596]

Makes a tasty meal for your cat!

[@jc3944]

It's easier to use something like a buck skinning knife for almost every fish. the only fish I wouldn't use a stiff blade for is stingrays, and sharks.

[@deepestlevel]

Well done sir !

[@BigBrother169]

I like how flexible those knives are, but are they very durable? What brand is it?

[@Passion4Fish]

Sorry for the delay in replying! We use Victorinox knives, they're relatively cheap and last years. This is a 7" flexible filleting knife and can be bought on Amazon and other sites for around £20. Make sure you keep it sharp with a steel and it will last years

[@BigBrother169]

Thank you

[@Beijingluck]

I am learning.

[@L110508]

Look easy, just tried on headless greenland turbot which supposed to be easier because it's larger. Total 1 hour for 2 fish, and messed up so bad. LOL

[@rdc501]

How many times can you say "fillet"

[@christianharman9538]

What type or kind of knife is that?

[@marcocasetta9654]

complimenti! bravo!

[@cwardo9810]

Wow, beautiful.!

[@Figueiredovzki]

Seems to easy :)

[@stenopushispidus2932]

Dear Duncan What exactly does prime fish mean ? why do you have to mention that tight to the head thing ? what good does that do while filleting ? Thanks

[@stenopushispidus2932]

***** ohh thank you so much Rory,I appreciate your concern.

[@Ace-cv1xd]

he just means that keep as close to the bones and the edges of the seperation between the head and the body to minimise wastage of meat.

[@Judy48pr]

purrrrrrrrrrrrrfect :)

[@YD-uq5fi]

What skill! So smooth. That said, it has always bugged me in general that half of the fish is not edible and goes to waste. Does not seem very efficient from an environmental point of view.

[@isabellebillingsley8487]

You can use the head for stew and the bones to make broth

[@YD-uq5fi]

@@isabellebillingsley8487 'Head for stew' is gross!! Give it to the cat or plant it in the garden.

hello duncan, thanks for the video. how big is the knife you using?

[@JonEirikBrobak]

but how do you fillet a tame turbot?

[@Samwellum]

I don't see a huge difference between this flounder, fluke and halibut.

[@cosettermn4521]

Much more tasty, trust me. Very rich taste.

[@YD-uq5fi]

Error at 1:05. He missed some valuable meat. Otherwise, flawless.

[@monumentedinpiatra]

If you fry it it the fillet doesn't taste as good as the chunks of fish fried as a whole. The cartilage and bone give it it's flavor, just try it!

[@serdar2183]

[@danielrowlands8857]

you made that look harder than it should of been. it would of been easier to get the 4 fillets out of the fish then trying to get 2 whole fillets

[@thebellsfishmonger]

He isn't quarter cutting it though..... The video is an instructional one on a cross cut fillet. He also does a separate one on quarter cutting. 🤦‍♂️

No turbot kettle 0/10

[@eightgeorge]

the best bit of the fish you throw away!! What a wastes of fish!!! The fillet is not the best of the fish!! If you steam the fish whole and eat it of the bone,that is the best way to get the most flavour of the fish.
