This guy is fast with a knife

This clip shows a professional fish filleter and the kids reaction to watching a whole fish become a 'feed' in a matter of seconds. This fishing contest is huge for Foxton Beach and Foxton. Outside money coming into the district and that is what tourism is all about.

[@tequillarico6012]

I love how he told the lady who set the fish up there "no charge I do this for fun!" She even said you can keep the fish then and he immediately started to barter with others! That is the true skill of a humble man! No money needed just enjoying himself

Just one of them 2 edged swords that cut you either way. i personally think i dont give a rats ass for the sword to begin with, humans create such flawed things, ill just eat my fish whole. The way it was beforehand, entrails and all.the way nature intended, cause thats the way it should be (this comment is strictly to show the purpose of how absurd this argument is to begin with.its a choice to start, that neither is for,nor against you no matter the outcome)

Haha , me too man , me too. I've cut up probably 5000 fish and cleaned about 50,000 crab. But the way this guy just fillet them fish , I'd give him mine any day. That was really cool to watch , and is literally 10 X faster than any fish I've ever cut up.

The 2nd fish is Blue Fish, bloody and fishy unless you marinated with yellow mustard or vinegar to get rid of fishy taste. Shark smell like ammonia after few day in refrigerator. I used to be the fish butcher by fishing charters during weekend and summer time while high school and get paid $1 each or $5 for 6 all under 16 inched. 50 cents extra each for 17”-24”, $2 for up to 36”. I get paid good $$ on cleaning offshore fish even $30-$50 for a tuna depend on size. I cleaned, portioned,and bagged it. I always bring home free fish for Friday fish dinner they exchanged me. Some time I give the free fish to kid and the father gave me good tips. Did for 2 years and saved all the money for nice brand new pickup truck to go to college and did not have to worry about big monthly notes while at school.

[@w0wftw8D]

2nd fish is a Kahawai, fish native to New Zealand and some parts of Australia. Good table fish, good to be smoked and puts up a fight for a fish of it's size. Usually drain the fish right after you catch it and the flesh goes much whiter.
