How to Fillet a Fish (quick and easy way)
ALWAYS CUT AWAY FROM YOUR HAND Here I show you how to fillet a fish. The example fish is a Blackfish aka Tog (Tautoga onitis). This method works for most fishes and is the simplest way to fillet. I give a basic breakdown of how to make your cuts and slowly go though it so you can follow along. Check out my new channel ChrisFish dedicated to fishing and boating: Here is the fillet kit I was using: 1. ) Cut behind the head from the top all the way to the bottom of the head. 2. ) Cut down the stomach cavity to the anal fin 3. ) Cut along the dorsal fin rays starting from the head and moving to the tail 4. ) Place the knife perpendicular to the backbone behind the head, and cut to the tail pressing down. 5. ) Skin you fillet 6. ) Wash your fillet with fresh water and cook or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Disclaimer: Always cut away from your hand, keep your knife sharp, and be careful
