Simple way to cut quality fillets
Today i am going to explain a simple way to cut effortless and quality fish fillets, use them either for the pot or like me for bait, to catch a even larger fish...馃槀
Let's get started
Step one
First start off by selecting you're fish and a very sharp knife.
Remove all the scale's BEFORE gutting the fish, this will assist with removing the scale's as the fish holds its form and remains very firm
Step two
see cut behind the head
The next step would be to make a cut behind the head just behind the Gill's of the fish.
Never cut the head clean off when cutting a fillet.
Cut only deep enough till you feel the hard back bone in the center of the fish.
Step three
Make a cut on the dorsal fin area as seen above, again dont try and cut through the entire fish just halfway through.
(try to cut along with the main back bone)
Step four
Then cut with the knife throughout the length of the fish up to the tail.
Then move to the belly of the fish and also cut from the head to tail of the fish same as step four, some fish do have bones here (soft small bones) you can either cut through it or around it depends on personal preference.
Step five
There you have it, a well cut simple way to fillet a fish, well most fish, get some garlic and lemon juice, deep fry or grill and enjoy.
