How to Fillet Fish

Once you have caught your fish it needs to be put on ice immediately. This makes
it easier to fillet when it is chilled. Here you will learn how to fillet a fish step by step.

First wash the fish until it feels fresh and clean

Make a cut just behind the fin

Slice along the backbone of the fish to the tail

The bones of the rib cage will be left on the meat

Turn the fillet over skin down then start from the tail
and fillet towards the head to remove the skin

Then turn the fillet over and cut down the center to remove the bones along the blood line

Wash and chill the filleted fish
