Hello, I have watched many videos on how to filet fish. I find your videos well-explained and easy to understand. I also found your method of filing different fish to come out with the best-looking fillets to cook. A job very well done, Thank you for your videos.

[@calebwistad]

Awesome. Thanks!

[@kylemurphy8150]

Great tips on the freshness of the meat. I usually keep my knife downward from gill to vent across the ribs. It scares me how you cut towards yourself.

[@calebwistad]

Thanks! I’ve been doing this for a long time. Thousands and thousands of fish over the years and I’ve never gotten more than a nick with the knife. It’s definitely partly in how you control the knife. 🤞

[@calebwistad]

They are tasty!

Hey Caleb / @hookedupwi - have you ever tried pickling whitefish? Looks like it’d be a good one to do that with!

[@calebwistad]

Never tried it but it would probably be great.

@@calebwistad I feel like whitefish are so similar to pike from a flesh-consistency perspective

​you can't have rings on your fingers when you cook, you get nasty bacteria in the fish, do you understand That..?

[@jeffa3155]

Glad to see you getting out!!! How's the big Lake doing? I hear the water is stained but ice is good

[@calebwistad]

Yes. Water is pretty dirty but ice is in good shape. Fishing is slow by all accounts.

@calebwistad it's been a strange year that's for sure!!! Good luck, tight lines

I love fish cakes. Whitefish are great for that.
