Survival Tips - How to Kill, Fillet and Cook Fish | TAFishing

[@StelznerGaming]

Theres probably 1000+ videos showing this, but this is the only one where I felt like I was being taught by a master. Wonderful stuff. Thank you for your teachings.

[@pjgreenwood391]

Me too! I liked that he dispatched it first then did the demo on how to do it, so the fish didn’t sit there and suffer during the lesson.

[@nikosfilipino]

He honestly wasted a lot of the meat. He could've saved way more if he just adjusted the angles of his blade more

[@Ureyeuh]

If your grandpa couldn't show you how to catch, kill, gut, clean, fillet, and cook a fish... then this guy is your temporary grandfather!

[@s0ck167]

Good luck sir! just don’t catch em in the river near your city (probably radioactive)

[@NotSoCrazyNinja]

Find a clean lake and go for it. Generally speaking, if the lake is used as a public water source, it's "probably" alright to fish from, just make sure you do it legally or you might get your fishing trip ruined. Once you knock it over the head, commit to getting it cleaned and cooked and eaten. Your comment was a good year ago, I wonder if you ever did it.

1st u gotta learn to catch a good fish. This is one of lifes awesomest moments. Cooking a fresh caught rainbow trout.. mmmmmmmmmmmm...

[@ROCKaholic]

I will always remember my first fishing experience. I was about 6 years old, and my mother took me to a salmon farm, where little kiddies like me were guaranteed a catch. Well I caught one, and the kind man who worked there showed me how to clean it. Well the part I remember best, was when he pulled out the heart of the salmon like this gentleman did. He lay the heart on the palm of his hand, gave it CPR with his finger, and it continued to beat on its own. Blew, my, little, mind. And at 5:17, you can see the heart of this trout still beating. Not as amazing as an adult, but it rocked my world as a kid. Thanks for the video!!

[@joseph_joe5014]

strange the way a heart keeps on beating if it is pulled out. when the Aztecs used to sacrifice people the would pull out the heart and it would also keep on beating

[@spaaggetii]

Wow sounds totally depressing. Almost ripped my heart out hearing about this. One wonders how mass murderers are born..

Why? I' ve dropped a whole plate of freshly cooked steaks and after we wiped off most of the dust with our hands, we blew lightly at them and then we ate them. They tasted just like if I hadn't dropped them.

[@CrazyPufferfish]

Did anyone else notice that when he took the heart out it was still beating on the board

[@BigBenzilla]

Human hearts have their own device for pumping blood, it's called the sinoatrial node. It fires and pumps independently from the brain. It doesn't require the brain to function just oxygenated blood. I imagine the fish is like that, in that it was very much dead... But the heart keeps going for a while. In humans, if that node wasn't there, heart transplants would be nearly impossible.

It's pretty sick murdering a fish anyway...

[@Psyenic]

@@jamess9579 well it's not because he's eating it

[@jamess9579]

@@Psyenic So it's OK to murder something if you're going to eat it? Obviously not. Why not just leave it to live its life where it is and eat one of the many and widely available vegan alternatives?

[@Psyenic]

@@jamess9579 so your argument is basically, don't kill things and treating every animal as your equal? Well should we prosecute other animals for "murder"

[@jamess9579]

@@Psyenic No, I think you have extrapolated from what I said. Here is why: (1) Not murdering animals for food when there are a vast number of easily accessible and entirely adequate alternatives, is *not the same as* "treating every animal as your equal" (although you can do that too, if you really want -- that would be great). We can have animals as pets, leave animals to roam in the wild, and do what is sensible. Just don't hurt them, harm them, or kill them. There's no point, nobody needs to do that! (2) The clear difference here, is that animals that kill and eat other animals in the wild do not have the intelligence to question whether that is morally acceptable, it's simply instinct. However we do, and we don;t need to act on instinct (and we arguably don't have a predatory one, anyway). Further to all of this, these animals do not have alternative options like tofu, plant burgers, grains, lentils, seitan, etc etc... Here is the part you did understand: "Don't kill things". But seriously, why did this guy need to kill the fish that was just living its life, that didn't want to die or be harmed? Why not just eat a damn plant burger? Surely you agree this would be better for everyone? Thanks for the sensible debate!

[@pjgreenwood391]

This is by far the best video I’ve watched regarding dispatching the fish. I like that it was already deceased. Many others the fish is still alive with no clue how long, and the person doing the demonstration is shouting out to friends, talking unnecessarily while the fish still suffers. I 100% support hunting and fishing, but always believe there are humane and ethical ways to do it. So, thank you!

[@Ultrazucced]

I've seen this video before. About a year ago. My grandpa had recently passed and i came across this. I teared up watching this. Experiencing this was similar to being with him again. I never wanted anything more than to go fishing with my grandpa one more time. I love this man more than I can explain.

[@greensmurf221]

I feel ya - my grandpa was a master trout fisherman. He'd catch the limit of 6~7 trout before the first hour off the buzzer. I wish I learned more from him, but he passed when I was 8 y/o or so.

[@ryannlarge8414]

This is exactly why I put a mix of seasoning, olive oil, and tinfoil in my water bottle bag. The only thing I haven't made myself for my bag is a small fishing kit and that's because I only recently started fishing avidly as before I was quite casual and didn't really know what to keep in a kit. A little tip whether you drink them or not 5-Hour Energy bottles are PERFECT for cooking oil.

[@cdh79]

When i was young (around 13) friends of my parents had a rainbow trout farm, so whenever someone ordered fish, their son (same age as me) and I would go to the pond and fish the order.. then we'd kill the fish with a big stick (same method as used in the video.. no half-ass smacking!), and then we'd gut the fish so this friends' mother could sell them fresh.. Watching this video brings me back 25 years and brings back great memories! Thanks!

[@Flederratte]

+simezra That is normal when you have freshly killed trout.

[@Emeraldcave_dragon]

+Flederratte but was it still alive I wanna go fishing but aint gonna fillet it aliveunless Im starving

[@Flederratte]

+Gloria mcmillan You should numb fish by giving them a solid punch on the skull where the brain is underneath. Then you kill them by blood loss, you can eitger stab the heart or cut the blood vessel that goes to the gills. If you have done it right you should see some drops of blood coming out. Then the fish is dying or already dead. If you do not want to filet a fish that is still moving or which has a still pumping heart you can simply wait some time (until it stops moving) after you killed it. I think it is great, that you care about the fish! Go fishing and if you catch something treat it respectful. Kill it fast if you want to use (eat) it, otherwise release it to its natural habitat. If you want to filet a fish you should probably watch some other videos, Graeme is wasting quite a lot of meat in this video. This might be the same when you do it for the first time, but once you did it some times you will become better. Maybe I will make a video how I clean and filet trout, carp and zander.

[@rattersnatters]

If you want to keep it tasting nice, it's always good to cut the gills after you kill it and wash it out in the water. Stops lactic acid building up and souring in it. It's not a massive difference, but if you're taking it home it definitely does make a difference.

(our phone was dead so we couldn't even Google it to confirm what we thought it was) but now I'm dedicating myself to learn names and types so we can fish more. But I also want to learn how to properly kill and filet fish. Since I've never had family who did it. So thank you for teaching us who grew up with no knowledge 😊

[@jeepersmcgee3466]

Instead of pulling the innards out after the first cut up the belly, if you stick the knife through so that it's parallel in between the tongue and the jaw and cut forward, you can then stick your finger in that slit and pull everything out in one go. It all stays together, then you just run your nail along the backbone to remove the blood and rinse it off

[@jamesaritchie1]

I suppose it depends on where you are, but if in a real survival situation in the wilderness we have here you want the biggest fish you can get, and as many as you can get. What you don't eat immediately, you smoke for later use. You also save the guts to use as bait for catching more fish, and for trapping/snaring animals. You shouldn't waste a tiny bit of meat, or of guts. You never know when or whether you'll get more.

[@Martyntd5]

Not necessarily the biggest, but you will need a lot of em. Trout has 190 calories per 100g, so you need to eat about 1.75kg (3.85lbs) of fish meat to get 3000-3500 calories. Mackerel is better at 305 calories per 100g, so just over 1kg (2.2lbs) of meat to get the same calories. Some people might try for carp, but at only 127 calories per 100g you'll need to eat about 2.5kg (5.5lbs) of carp meat to get your daily calories. Perch is even worse at 117 calories per 100g. The best fish are the oily fish, mackerel, tuna, salmon etc. In a real survival situation though, trying to live off fish (or any lean protein) is just slow starvation. You just cant eat enough of it to get the calories you need - even if you could catch it. If you actually want to live instead of slowly starve to death, finding a reliable source of fat and carbs is much more important than protein.
