Thanks again for your awesome content also your my new fishing shop in amazing it’s great shop and deliver so convenient thanks mate

[@mitchmcbride6053]

I have to say Rod I love everything you do however the way I fillet fish is very very similar to Loz this technique is the best way for flathead for sure. For larger fish like a large barra or snapper I do a similar thing to rod My vote is for LOZ it works the best in most cases for me but really who cares as long as you catch and enjoy the fish a fillet is a fillet

[@SibiasLife]

Learnt so much from all your videos Roger. One thing that I do with the scales, I just use my garden hose, switched it to jet and then hosed out the scales. Easy, quick and lovely skin w/o scales. Keep it going!

[@scottryan5369]

It's amazing all the diff ways to fillet fish, I do mine similar slightly different, I just cut behind the head like you guys do then run the blade the full length of the fish removing the fillet in 1 cut, then skin from the tail like you do, then remove the ribcage and pin bones as you do. Quick and easy, thanks again for sharing another great video, I enjoy them and learn things too which Is great, thx again.

[@mattiasfootballfreestyle1568]

Hey mate I love your show and have learned so much as I have watched all your videos. My 10 year old and myself are catching so much more and bigger fish solely because of your vids. We go out everyday because he’s addicted and I love seeing him scream with glee when he’s hooked on and fighting. Can u please teach me and my son how you rig up your 2 hook beach rig. Thanks mate

[@charleshansell9834]

Excellent Video Roger and Lorry

[@sarbaazchabahar]

I have always done it Rog's way.... New trick seems to be good too👍

[@colinmyers8841]

greetings from sunny Queensland Roger , good job on this vid matey , cheers

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks mate!

[@michaelpaul5498]

Hi Roger. I really enjoy the videos that include your friend Loz. It's awesome to have good mates. Keep up the good work. Kind regards MP

[@thedon9670]

Starlo did a video last week showing how he fillets salmon and tailor. He does it from the tail first and only takes him 5 seconds to cut it off!

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

I'll have to have a look

[@RegansFishingAdventures]

I run my cuts along the spine on both sides, then the shoulder cut, flip fillets to skin and leave skin attached at the tail. I started them the same way rog did then loz then found my own little technique. Love the vids and the educational side of it rog!! Never did much beach fishing until recently and doing much more of it now, thank you for the inspiration to fish the beach!!!

[@mehrdadkh7569]

awesome guys and very applicable and detail video . lots of love from iran

[@johnkeynes8873]

Great fish Roger on the second fillet try dropping the fish head over the table edge the fish will lay flat then when skinning I use sa fork to hold the fillet end less waste ,cheers Roger enjoy your videos.

[@LunaRendezvous]

Loz for the win!

[@seanyuke3249]

I like bones out, skin on. The flavour for me is better with skin on. I love whiting too. For those who don't like or are allergic to gluten, try rice flour, egg and crumb with desicated coconut. It's a nice twist. I will eat any of them.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Well said!

[@dingydate]

Hi Roger, i love my whiting fishing as well , i prefer to do mine the same way as Los, just what floats your boat i guess . NOW where is the video where you guy's caught those whiting ,some nice fish there. Thank you guy's for the video. Cheers Chris .

[@pieterhoekstra9887]

Just a heads-up Roger you'll find it easier to leave the first fillet attached at the stomach, fold it back in place then fillet the otherside, once done then remove each fillet from the carcass and skin.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks Pieter

[@jaytango3594]

This is marvellous practical information from two experienced fishos. I’m very appreciative of the catching videos, and now the cleaning video is just essential to respect the catch. Let’s have some cooking videos!

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Okay Glad you enjoyed it!

[@dougmeller3368]

Laurie's method to leave the filet attached at the tail is a great idea. Why did I never think of that?

[@vincenzopaterno2292]

Good on you Roger well explained great video cheers

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@SydneyEpoxysolution]

Today I came to Barrabeen beach for fishing I was hoping to meet you but but didn’t happen And actually I caught my first fish very excited and happy 🎉

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

That is awesome!

[@Mark-ew5jm]

As ‘Loz” says….four blokes, four different methods…..I do mine similar to Loz but take both fillets right off the fish, remove the breast bones, skin and then remove the pin bones. Lovely fish which deserve proper processing. Thanks for sharing Roger. (As an aside, my largest whiting was taken at Merimbula fishing from my Kayak with a 3 inch soft plastic in a minnow pattern when fishing for bream and flatties, it went 45cms)

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Awesome, thanks Mark

[@Kevenant]

If I get an invite to lunch and you guys are cooking they'd definitely both be the best way.

[@markumbers5362]

I have been filleting rogers way but Loz is faster and Pieter's idea of leaving the first fillet attached and flipping it over will make the second side filleting easier too. Good episode.

[@delmonicofarquhar9893]

Good video, for sure. I find both methods about equally useful. The main thing I like to be sure of is getting out those final lateral bones, and both methods handle them the same way. I'm with Rog-- no bones in the flesh, thank you very much!

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Totally agree!

[@markmay184]

I bleed and head spike all my fish on capture. I also gut and scrape the backbone, then wash the fish in the surf when I’m finished fishing. When I get home they go in the fridge overnight, then I fillet and skin them the next day. I reckon it “sets” the flesh and makes it easy to fillet and skin. Gutting and washing the fish done the beach (in salt water) eliminates the need to wash the fillets in fresh water later. There’s only one thing you need to be more careful of than a sharp knife, and that’s a blunt knife 🩸

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

I agree Mark

[@sempei58]

would the left over of th fish be good to use for beach worming

[@JustOneKnight]

Ive always been too afraid to do anything with the fish I caught. I would give them to other people, like elderly in the street. Never ate any of my own catch and these days i just catch release. All coz i wasn't willing to try.

[@abdulsamadi9592]

Very helpful Thank you ❤.

[@michaeldenham4577]

Yere loz way is the go good job

[@jamesart9]

Loz's method for me. Efficient and makes the most sense to my mind. I'd be surprised if anything but habit caused Roger NOT to use it.

[@johnkeynes8873]

Both ways are good 50. 50 cheers

[@georginawoodford228]

I love that you use all of the fish. Suprised you dont put bones in garden.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Hi Georgina, I have started doing that 👌

[@walking-tonight]

you handled the fish very cleanly and beautifully, keep the fish head in the refrigerator and use it as bait for next time

[@PrimalRenegade17]

You are boiling fish frames and not making stock? You're even adding rice that is 80% of the way to a delicious seafood risotto Great video. Just getting back into fishing, really helpful reminder on how to fillet whiting.

[@TheLesmarshall]

Fabulous demo, thanks so much both of you

[@LAWSONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE]

Big fan, well done

[@nicholasshortland9655]

Love you show whiting and much better cooking on the bone trust me mate you lose the natural fat from the fish

[@ianbertenshaw4350]

Don't throw away the water after boiling the frames - filter it and use it as fish stock .

[@davidgc4396]

Gee Roger only skin I take off fish is shark skin is one of the best eating parts of fish 😂

[@davidgc4396]

You picked the hardest way to fillet whiting and left the best part off😂

[@ianmcculloch8531]

I think Loz has it, by just a few loose scales. 😊

[@manfreddelacasse853]

Interesting, that a "lefty" works right-handed with the knife, when filleting!

[@mitch4253]

“You’ve got a dingly-dangly there…Lawrie”

[@keithprinn720]

shows how taking care and using a good knife for the job. definitely not your bait knife or thick bladed knives used for large fish. skinning good but crispy skin recipes sometimes better, both great methods, do what is best for you, not paranoid about bones, just dont over cook it and be careful with spices especially with such species.

[@light487]

I see beach worm burley:)

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Yes 😊

[@markmay184]

Some good whiting there 👍🏻

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Yes Mark, I cooked some dipped in egg and Panko crumbs, soooo good!

[@markmay184]

@@RogerOsborneFishing yum 😋👍

[@howarddavey6642]

Loz sorry Rodger! Bream and Flathead the same.

[@michaelcraig3710]

Have to say Loz looks better

[@hillfurnishings]

Haha Loz is classic

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Agreed, He's a good friend

[@An_Idiot_in_the_Wild]

Loz wins! Sorry Rog.

[@thebayslayer1]

Bleed your whiting lol 😆
