- Jeremy Woodrow of the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute (and lifelong fisherman), is in the MUNCHIES Test Kitchen to show us how to properly clean and fillet a fish. He cuts up several salmon steaks and fillets from one big sockeye salmon, removing pinbones while keeping the flesh of the fish intact.

No idea why i watched this but it was really interesting thank you
me either
dude same
There's something really gratifying about being able to fillet fish... When you get good and you see how nice the cuts come out you feel proud! Because trust me, you will butcher plenty and end up with a lot of spoon meat!
Isn’t that the RUclips motto?
Damn I was trying to see him filet this fish but now I wanna start a salmon fertilized garden
He left so much behind, now imaging all the fish he wasted in his lifetime. Idiot probably throws away the skin and deep fries fresh fish.
@@melvincollins8104 wait what
@Melvin Collins not sure you realise how much of a huge douchewad you sound like. the fact that he even mentioned fertilising your garden with it means that he’s encouraging people not to throw away or waste any of the fish. he also said that when grilling he keeps the skin on. stop commenting on videos you don’t watch, you moron.
@@LOLletsallfreakout end of the day he would make a shit fish monger
*_vanessa_* we need more people in this world like you🥺
Props to anyone who actually goes out and fillets a fish
There could be fishmongers watching the video
I do it is way cheaper and you can make a soup with bones, head and belly and than you basically go zero waste on that fish.
Burby Lee my family is very traditional swedish and we fished pretty often. dad and granddad taught me everything I need to know about fish hehe.
shlomo kikebherger people become less independent as they move into cities. call it useless if you want but it’s a privilege imo.
@shlomo kikebherger look at u all useful talking senseless crap pn the internet! Youre a real contribution to society! Thanks for always letting other know theyre useless what would the world do without your services
I actually expected to see an old bearded man skinning a salmon with a hunter knife in front of a frozen lake
Red Dead Redemption 2
johnny sins fillets salmon on his free time
Well as someone leaving for the Russian River tomorrow night... that's usually what actually happens, beards, cussing, a filet knife, a running river and it happens about 8 min faster, LOL
Me: I don’t need to know how
Me 1 second later: maybe I do, just in case
That salmon steak being held together with the skin idea is brilliant! Perfectly even thickness with minimal effort.
But the skin will not be seared and I think seared salmon skin is extremely good on salmon steak.
@@motsach5397 The nice thing about this technique is that you can always fold the steak back again to expose the skin and finish the skin on a smoking hot skillet to crisp it up without adding too much additional heat to the meat. Best of both worlds.
@@MikeTrieu have you tried doing it yet? I believe that you cannot fold it that easily since it will break the fish when it's even slightly cooked. I havent tried doing it, just my speculation.
@@motsach5397 You fold it while it's raw, cook it, and then unfold it with the skin side now down. You just have to use a spatula to guide it back.
@@MikeTrieu I'm convinced you have never done this before lol
This guy has the same timbre of voice as Jeff Goldblum
YOU have the same timbre of voice as Jeff Goldblum more like it

@@benilak Thanks Ben, I was pretty dosed up when I wrote it
The spoon meat got my appetite really going, looks amazing.

I knew I wasn't alone when I saw the confusing subject-object sentence construction.
I will never fillet a salmon in my life, but there's something oddly pleasing in seeing someone good in his craft explain it so well. Great video
4:56 holy, that’s way more satisfying that those slime or ASMR videos
I'm definitely not going to do that but it was fun to watch 😊
Rizza The Great lmao basically everyone who visits a mychannel 😂
@dark lord It's not that it's hard. I just can't finish that much fish.
@dark lord I don't have a family, so buying large quantities ends up being a waste.
Rizza The Great cut The filets into a size that you like then vacuum seal and freeze it.
Rizza The Great that’s what I do when I catch one. Or just invite all your friends and family for dinner lol
This MAN kinda sound like Chef Goldblum lol
I work as a part time driver for a seafood company in sydney, we deal Alaskan salmon.
The 60+ year old pacific islander guy that works there and i see every day, he fillets a whole salmon in less than a minute or so.
Makes me appreciate his skill a lot more.
Did Vice fly this man from Alaska down to Brooklyn just to shoot this video?!
Best question asked for this video
he said he was from some public office in alaska. maybe its a government promotion thing
@@brohymn2620 it's not a public office lmao he's a marketer.
Am assuming the communication director might not be based out of Alaska if his job is to promote the products to Chefs and all that, probably based in their primary market
he doesn't have a beard.. so I think he just know an Alaskan Fisherman.
Takes me back to when I worked at Tesco and they put me on the fish counter, I hated the idea of it at first but once I was filleting whole salmons it was actually quite fun and technical 🙌🏼
That was fantastic to watch. I don't break down salmon as much as you, but I'm not a novice. I use a flex knife to skin a side, but your solid blade did a much better job. Thanks
What a beautiful fish!
He was genuinely happy and passionate about filleting this fish. I want to learn how to fillet a fish, good voice, very informative, thank you. Nice watch!
This is perfect, I'm actually going to be fishing in Alaska very soon. I will definitely be using these techniques, thank you!!
This man looks like he’s always on the verge of laughing 😂
Thanks, very well explained. The Idea to "butterfly" the Steak to achieve the same Thickness is a total Winner for me and to Spoon the Fishbones for minimal Waste is awesome. I salute to you Mr. Woodrow
This was SO informative! I’ve been wanting to start buying my fish whole but was nervous on how exactly to break it down.
Defiantly use a more flexible knife with a finer tip than that in the video, it is much easier at first.
You'll save so much buying fish whole!
Start with a bigger fish, unfortunately bigger is easier and you will stuff up a few times before you get it right. Choose something cheaper, a large snapper is good practice
If you still can't break it down try bringing up the fish's childhood trauma or pass judgement on its looks
I cant be the only one who read "how to fillet an alaskan fisherman"
Nah i did dw
me too wtf
I have no idea who this man is but his attitude and skill invested into his trade is absolutely phenomenal. Would want him to be my cool uncle. 11/10
What a great tip at the end, I’d have spent the rest of my life messing about with a piece of fish of differing thickness trying to get an equal cooking time. Nice job and very professional
Watching this in the back of an Uber on the way to Pike Place to get some salmon! Maybe I'll opt to fillet it myself, great video.
Watching this because some older lady got mad at me for not knowing how to fillet a salmon for her. I fill in at the fish department sometimes at work while the guy that runs the section is on his break. (I was hired on as a cashier/stocker and have only been cutting fish a couple days a week for a few months) The guy that runs our seafood department is a former sushi chef and he tried to show me how to do it. You guys make it look so easy!
Munchies, you the real MVP.
8:45 just changed my life 😱 great vid 👏🏻
Grest video, I spent three years processing sport fish in Valdez Alaska as one of my jobs growing up. The owner taught me just as you shown great blade work.
Yo this video was super insightful! Props to the host!
i love him he explained how to use every part of the salmon :')
This guy is the Alton Brown of fish!!
Great camera presence and easy to follow with interesting facts thrown in!
no
Wow....the first video i have ever seen on RUclips fillet a salon right. Leave it to us Alaskans to show everyone. I have seen so many salmon fillet videos on RUclips that are just complete butcher jobs. Finally a video the exact way I was raised to fillet a fish
Exactly!
Great vid, that thumb hole idea is going to save me a fortune lol
Needed this. Salmon season has just started where I am at and so far caught one.
I don't know why but this feels satisfying
Now I really want some salmon. You're clearly skilled and very knowledgeable about your fish filleting. Thanks for sharing.
That salmon looks so good!!
Great technique!
Whole salmon was on sale today. I bought one, and now you've shown me how to deal with it. Thanks!
Great breakdown - thank you! I love filleting fish, not that we have alot of sockeye Salmon over here, will try this on a trout
This is amazing. The skill and insight here is great
I could listen to this guy all day - awesome how-to video
This is a weird Johnny Sins scene...
LOL beat me to the comment!
That was a Masterclass in Salmon filleting !
that butterfly fold over technique at the end is brillant
Damn Steve Wilkos knows how to handle a fish
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
read this comment, literally right before buddy appeared on screen. LOL thanks for the laugh Fred
You a fool😂😂😂
Idiot
This video relaxes me
I knew how to fillet but the part about spooning was an eye opener. I always wondered how to use that meat. Thank you.
or you can just cut all the thing in 3 part , oignon carrots celery and hop to the pan , sauté , pour water Salt, bouquet garni. 1h Filter it and you got a delicious soup full of collagen and Omega 3 ^_^ the good for the skin and for the heart :)
@@Yehi_0r Usually by the time it's filleting time after fishing, I'm just trying to process and get it canned, vacuum sealed...so never really any time or space to use the carcass for things. It just really never crossed my mind to boil it or spoon it.
@@Cre8ive07 All the bones are pretty good boiled. I do that as I am cutting up my salmon for a tasty treat.
If you are interested, check out how to butcher a whole tuna by Bon Appetit on You Tube. Its 20 minutes long but its a thing of beauty. At 18:00 the japanese guy shows what de does with the spoon meat and the bones of the fish. Highly recommended!
most excellent video my dude, thank you!
I have no idea why I watch these but I do 😂
that last salmon steak « hack »
just blew my mind
Thank you for this!
I love the way the knife just glides across the red
Love these videos
I'm proud of you Jeremy! good job processing that salmon!
I use a pretty similar technique with walleye. I’ll start behind that pectoral fun cut done to the spine and follow it down to the tail but instead of cutting the fillet off at the tail I just flip it over with my knife leaving it attached to the fish and then proceed with the same skinning technique used in this video except I’m holding on the the head and gills as I skin the fillet flip the fish over and repeat!
Learned a lot, thanks
This was soo cool thanks man
“Y’alls”- this beautiful beautiful guy
Mad skills - so cool to see
Great technique, and info Method presents the end results well! Looks Great!
you are an inspiration to young fishermen well done
Videos like this makes me miss sharp knives. I've been working with damaged/blunt knives for years now.
I’m going on a lake trip tmrw and going fishing for the first time, this video seemed relevant
I love how he spare that little bit of the belly! True master!
Very good video. You did a great good explaining
Im a commercial fisherwoman in Alaska, and I approve of his technique👏🏼👏🏼👌🏼👌🏼
I've never thrown away a fish head or tail there both great for stew and soup and the head has bits of meat you can cut off and use in other dishes the only thing my family ever recycles are the guts
I really like this man. Great guy
Very good explained video :)
Thank you! This was very informative! I’ll have to show this off to my girlfriend!
Very Nice! Well-presented!
As a fishmonger of 20 years, i gotta say he did it absolutely beautifully
What a fantastic video! Thank you so much for sharing :)
I like the way you say it and do it from an average point of view ,
although you’ve done it many times instead of doing it and that’s it
you explain it to the point we’re I could do it 🤙🏻😎 I probs can’t still but I feel I can now , nice video
great video!!
Great video!
Man I graduated from High school and I'm still learning stuff
You never stop learning!:)
Awesome ! Thanks !
Good stuff man!
Growing vegetables in Alaska year round? Salmon really is a miracle fertilizer!
BBQ and Bottles yep! Alaska has one of the most world records for growing big vegetables since during the summer we have sun 24/7
That was a super helpful video!
Love this video for some reason, might tell chef to let me filet a salmon 💯😂
I used to be a fishmonger for a number of years and these are my tips to improve on this method:
- Use flexible knives
- Use a dull bread knife for skinning as you will pierce/break through the skin otherwise
- Go as close to the backbone as you can, don't leave any flesh on the bones
- Pinbone before you skin, otherwise it'll fall apart
Happy filleting!
- He used a stiff knife and it worked great.
- He didn’t use a “dull bread knife” and he didn’t go through the skin.
- He left flesh on the bones and called it “spoon meat” and gave great ideas for its use.
- He pin boned it AFTER skinning it and it didn’t fall apart.
So every one of your “tips” was debunked before you even put them down. 🤦🏻♂️
Explain that.
@@albertledesma5173 I can explain it in 4 words if you like to make it simple to understand? He. Is. A. Professional.
@@albertledesma5173 Give it a go yourself mate and find out how easy it is, it takes years of practice to get to his level and even more to be able to fillet it without an ounce of meat on the bones.
Sholly Hahaha. I’m an AVID fisherman and have been processing my own fish (yes, even salmon) for years. I think you missed the point of my comment. Never mind. Might be too difficult.
@@Sholly97you’re right, I have tried skinning it once, it was a hard procedure and I will be taking your tips haha.
Yumm! Thanks for the video!🙌🏽
we actually learned a technique in culinary school, where you end up with significantly less "spoon meat", but other than the two long cuts surprisingly similar
lol this actually gunna help me cook it better first attempt i didn't cook it even now i can cut it up in a way that looks beautiful and will taste good
When Johnny Sins is in alternate universe.
the folded piece with the skin in the middle is a common way of cutting salmon in Finland. If you by a single serving of salmon in a supermarket it's cut like that and restaurants serve their salmon like that. I've worked in a supermarket after school and foreigners were always bewildered by it.
Okay but that halving of the filet trick is actually so smart why did I not know how to do that...
Still one of My fav videos ❤️😅
Spooning the excess meat is brilliant!!
Thats a neat idea for the salmon steak. Nice way to leave it with no bones and minimal skin.
I often just slice the whole fish into steaks, leaving the backbone, much less work. Cook it with the skin still on too, peel it off before eating. Keeps in all the moisture and oils.
Now if I'm making salmon fillets. Just like you said. Leave the skin on. Tinfoil underneath and just toss it on the fire/bbq. Lemon, Dill, little bit of salt. Perfect.
If were going to be making jarred salmon, the salmon steaks go in bones and all. The bones will become very soft when jarred and super edible. My favorite part to eat is the vertebrae of the spine when eating jarred salmon over rice.
me too, I always keep it a lot quicker and simpler than this guy, but hey there's no wrong way to do it I guess
props to you tasty, you picked a great guy. im from alaska and this was spot on
Very informative!
You can tell he really loves his fish.
salmon skin cooks about the same speed as regular cut bacon in a raised cooking pan in the oven
