    Thanks! Very good technique for Walleye.
    Here in Sweden we use every piece of the fish possible.
    Do not throw the carcass away.
    Use the head (remove gills though), carcass and the bone line you remove in the demonstration to make a marvelous fish stock.
    If you like a stronger, fishier taste use the skins as well.
    Portion up the stock, let it set and then freeze.
    Use in soups and fish sauces and gravies.
    If you're intrested in Swedish fish recipies please just send me a message.
    Thanks again for a good video!

    Aside from some far away shots, this is a really great and helpful video! I’m originally from Wisconsin and my grandparents had a cabin on a lake up in the north woods of WI and grandpa would always be filleting fish for Friday night fish fries and teaching the older cousins how but by the time the younger cousins were old enough to learn, the older cousins were the ones doing most of the work (there’s about a 6 year or so gap between my older cousins and me and my younger cousins.) Just watching this video really brought back some good times and fun memories so thank you!!

    Great technique, much faster than how I did before, thumbs up from me. One little detail worth mentioning: for small perch going along the ribs with a knife is very difficult because the ribs are so thin and fragile, but you can peel off the flesh from them just by gently pulling on the filet with your hand (like peeling an orange).

  • @Follower_of_The_Word
    @Follower_of_The_Word 2 года назад +4

    I remove the lateral line by using a shallow “V-cut” so when it’s pulled out the fillet remains in one piece. Press your knife flat at the edge of the red meat and slice under it from the dorsal and the belly side. These cuts do not need to overlap or meet in the middle, when you pull the strip all the red meat and bones stay together and you have a white fillet in one piece.

      I don't cut the fillet all the way through so i can flip it over the tail and use the body of the fish as an anchor. You can get really close to the skin this way and it's just overall easier.

    • @MoonDude138
      @MoonDude138 4 года назад +18

      From my experience working in a seafood restaurant for several years, a fishy taste is sometimes synonymous with the fish having gone bad. While it's not always the case, usually the fishier smelling and tasting the fish is the older the fish tends to be. Other than tuna, mackrel, and salmon which sometimes have no smell but can still be dangerous to eat. Most fish filets have almost no smell to it when it is freshly cut, except for a slight salty smell depending on the fish.
      Again, a fishy smell and taste is usually correlated with the fish starting to sour.

    Question: Why do you have to leave the tag if you are going to travel and take it off when ready to fry?

    • @elizabetholsson3549
      @elizabetholsson3549 8 лет назад +1

      It's because if a game warden shows up, and they want to know what you've been catching (that's what the tag does) and know that you're staying within the fishing limit. If the warden doesn't know how many of each fish you've caught, you could be fined or serve jail time. once you cook them though, it won't matter.

    • @rosemarycrafting1202
      @rosemarycrafting1202 8 лет назад +1

      it keeps fish species from going instinct, while jail is quite harsh, it keeps good fish populations. Most of the time you just get off on a warning, especially if you don't look like you know what your are doing, but of course it varies state to state

    You don't gut the fish first before filletting it?

    • @KFieLdGaming
      @KFieLdGaming 7 лет назад

      I was gonna say the same thing. I always do this. I don't think it's necessary obviously, but it just makes life easier for me. I pierce through the vent, and create a shallow cut up the belly so I can pull the guts right out of the fish, and then I proceed to make my cuts behind the gill plates, and fins and proceed to fillet.
      Doesn't hurt the meat any, and it gets the guts out of the way easily. I mainly eat Walleye, Perch and Crappie. I don't eat any other freshwater fish.

    • @alagazic1013
      @alagazic1013 7 лет назад

      No, you don't have to gut the fish to filet them. It's easier AND not as messy.

    • @PsychoticPillowCase
      @PsychoticPillowCase 7 лет назад +6

      you gut them before filleting just to add insult to injury. then feast on the organs to let the other fish know you're not fucking around.

    • @krazus2036
      @krazus2036 6 лет назад

      This actually could be easier than gutting the fish. You have to cut the ribs away anyways from the fillet why not do it with the organs still in the meat and save you some time.
