Filleting fish


Eric Wettschreck

Recommended Posts

Last night while filleting some crappies, I remembered earlier this winter in a cabin with some good pals cleaning fish, and I got to thinking.

How many of yous guys fillet fish like I do? Meaning, cut em right down the middle, skin em, then cut out the bones. Or, do you fillet them old school like my friend Frank. He works the knife around the bones.

I learned to do it Franks way. It took me forever so now I take the easy way out. Watching Frank do it his way, faster than I do, made me wonder how everyone else does it.

I was taught around the ribs but now cut through them. At first cutting through them I would slip up and waste a tiny amount of meat however now I have become good and I get the same amount of meat as if I were to cut around the ribs. The reason I do this is because I believe I am faster when I cut through them. I also have divided my fillets to get the middle bones out( I believe they are pin bones), however I usually dont mess with them unless they are eyes.
