    Fantastic informative & interesting video John. I've done a little bit of filleting and have picked up a few tips from you & others in the past, but that was great to get some professional tips and see an expert at work! They are just so accurate and fast when you watch them at work. Re freezing fish (or fresh meat), I can't get on with that annoying cling film stuff(!), so I bought a vacuum sealer & bags from one of the German supermarkets a couple of years ago, and it has been fantastic for anything that is prone to freezer burn after storage at -18 degrees!
