Thanks for the video. 28 yeasrs ago I worked aqs a deckhand on a Salmon Troller out of Sitka. The captain taught me a method of bleeding salmon that works significantly better than cutting one of the gills. In the back of the roof of the mouth all the gills converge in a tight bundle of blood vessels. Enter through the mouth with a sharp knife while holding the fish by the lower jaw and make a horizontal cut through all these gill connections. The salmon will immediately bleed profusely. It will bleed more completely if you keep the heart pumping by immediately placing the fish in the water on a stringer. If seals are a potential threat use the wash down hose to spray water over the gills for several minutes. The water gives the salmon oxygen to keep the heart pumping.
Loved this tutorial, I've never seen anybody remove the fins first and I'm going to try that next time. I've been filleting a lot more salmon recently and I was hoping to find some new tips or time savers. Your video was very well done.
I have never filleted a fish so easily before! This was amazingly easy to do. I kept my filet knife sharp and it sure did make the work easy to do. Thank you for this quick video on showing me how to do it.
Great brand at a great price. Very sharp and comfortable to use. Just did this batch of trout yesterday and used it for the first time. Better than allot of more expensive knives.
Well done job. Right technique and not too much waste. I do filleting as a job and must do it so fast as possible. Mostly I use pneumatic knives but usual knives are better because there is no compressors in Finnish Laplands wilderness.
great! I think I will change to your method. I usually cut down from the back towards the belly, leaving the ribs on the fish. I think you way is much easier. Thanks!
how was that so smooth. when i tried filleting i accidentally cut right through the spine and i didnt even notice so the fillet on the other side was in 2 pieces
DUDE! Someone gifted me a gutted, head off tail off, lake salmon (western Montana, Thompson chain / lakes just east of Libby). It is very much like a trout and I wanted to find out how to filet it to cook. Uh, the key component to being able to filet a fish, like you, is not the fish, it's the boning knife you are using. Dang. Of course I don't have that kind of knife, in my lil RV, dang it! Can you post a link to it? Thanks! I love fisherman cuz you catch and I will cook!
That is EXACTLY how I learned ... I got into an argument with my neighbor when I told him you don't have to gut them out first.... I'll show him this video
I caught my first steelhead like an hour ago by self and was totally dark. He was alive when I got home but I put him in cold water bucket. I hope it won't be spoiled in the morning 😕.
Very helpful and thank you for making this video, Im wondering about the skin though. Do most people just cook it with the skin on and just eat the meat off the skin or?
Check your fishing regs before before doing this. In Idaho, you will be cited if the tail, adipose and head are not attached to the filet, until taken home.
We just caught some silvers this last weekend and it was mine and my husband's first time filleting salmon. I had a female and once I made the shallow slit in her stomach cavity, all these worms came spilling out. I'm positive they were worms! They had those pointy ends to them. Everyone said they don't think they were, but I was positive they were. I cleaned it up and the meat was fine since it was just in the stomach cavity. Have you ever seen anything similar? Am I tripping? 😆😆
This is the third straight salmon I have completely mutilated, because I can’t find a single explanation on youTube that properly explains how to do this. I always have to start from a different place because in all the youtube vid the fish heads are still on, and the ones I buy are off. Then they always just say, “run your knife down the backdown” as if that is just simple and easy, and i am supposed to just magically know where to cut? I Do try to cut down the back bone, and this where i mutilate my fish every time. I only get a tiny bit of fish. The rest is on the bone. I wish there was a better explanation of this somewhere, but all these videos say the same thing I'm just gonna throw the whole mess in the oven now, and figure out what to do after its cooked
nice fillets, however never rinse salmon as it milks the flesh. Also once you fillet your salmon, your going to want to bag and seal it very soon as the flesh is exposed and will lose quality fast if iced and put back in a cooler.
if your watching this like i am right now chances are you have no clue how to filet a fish so ima give u a great tip because i fileted my steelhead BEFORE watching this.... GET A FILET KNIFE IT IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST NO EXCEPTIONS
I personally feel that the eggy fish should not be eaten and it's not very much healthy for human beings unless the eggs are get out from belly naturally not by forcefully.

just end it's misery wtf....
@@escapetherace1943 you've never heard nirvana....
It's OK to eat fish, because they don't have any feelings...
@@jaredb6934 the real kicker is, it doesn't even taste better if you bled the fish or not
I've caught enough salmon to know.
@@escapetherace1943 can you ever catch enough salmon?

Great video! Easy to understand and instill confidence. Now I am off to fillet my Vancouver Island 25lb Spring Salmon!
Don't make me drool, bro!
Great brand at a great price. Very sharp and comfortable to use. Just did this batch of trout yesterday and used it for the first time. Better than allot of more expensive knives.
Very helpful. You guys definitely know what you're doing!!!
Thanks so much!
I watched a few fillet videos and this one is very well done, great + clear instructions
Well done job. Right technique and not too much waste. I do filleting as a job and must do it so fast as possible. Mostly I use pneumatic knives but usual knives are better because there is no compressors in Finnish Laplands wilderness.
OMG the Finnish laplands? Dude!
someone had a good day!!
Not bad not bad! Thanks for watching.
great! I think I will change to your method. I usually cut down from the back towards the belly, leaving the ribs on the fish. I think you way is much easier. Thanks!
You are so lucky to have access to these fish. Thanks for the tips
Very informative and easy watching video. Thank you!!
Excellent video!!! Thank you guys for this. Super easy and fast. Thanks again!
how was that so smooth. when i tried filleting i accidentally cut right through the spine and i didnt even notice so the fillet on the other side was in 2 pieces
What knife are you using thanks
Thank you that was quick and simple I appreciate it
Great video, thanks for posting
Holy Santa Claus Shit!!!! By far the best fillet tutorial video on RUclips!!!
Thanks Jamal.
as much as it sucks to scale a filet, that would be a good addition before the fillets are cut off.
Thanks for the video. Gonna go out tomorrow and go fish
I saw you on the water my friend.
oh ya?!

Thanks for watching.
Where did you get your fillet board and how did you attach it to your gunnel wall?
Awesome! How often do you have to sharpen your knife?
That is EXACTLY how I learned ... I got into an argument with my neighbor when I told him you don't have to gut them out first.... I'll show him this video
What a hunk of a man
Very good video. Thanks for sharing.
I caught my first steelhead like an hour ago by self and was totally dark. He was alive when I got home but I put him in cold water bucket. I hope it won't be spoiled in the morning 😕.
Great job 👍
By the way you taught us a very fine technique to fillet. Many Thanks...,!
Thanks!
Great vid 💯💯💯
BRO!!!!! YOU MAKING ME HUNGRY AT 6:33A.M!
nicely done! :)
Thanks! Please subscribe.
Does this fish have Pin bones?
Great video
What knives do you recommend?
Well done !👌👏
Nice!
Very helpful and thank you for making this video, Im wondering about the skin though. Do most people just cook it with the skin on and just eat the meat off the skin or?
yes. exactly. After cooking the skin is loose and the flesh easily pulls away from it.
Hey Cameron. What knife where you using in this video bud. It seems to be quite sweet!
Check your fishing regs before before doing this. In Idaho, you will be cited if the tail, adipose and head are not attached to the filet, until taken home.
nice video. thanks!
where do u get ur awesome knife from?
That is a bubba blade, fantastic knives

What about the pin bones??
Optional to pull or cut out.
would you be able to eat the eggs like caviar instead of using them as bait if you wanted or is there another step to make them safe to eat?
Thanks
I guess you could if you want...
Embers End Gaming in the great lakes region steelhead and salmon eggs are not good to eat. The heavy metal and PCB concentrations are beyond edible.
Love the video awesome
What type of a knife are you using?
Bubba Blade
Jack King q
Bubba Blade
What kind of knife is this ?
What knife is that
It would be nicer if you didnt have the music in the background.
Is there a way to pull the back meat off the spine without cooking it?
Use a spoon to scrape it off
Gordon Ramsay approved this video
Is that the 9 or 12 inch blade
Also do you have any recommendations for fillet knives for salmon other than this one.
How do you overcome the slime from the fish? Just the carpet or do you scrape it off too?
paper towels work great before hand.
Who’s watching this while eating salmon
Is that a bubba blade Cameron?
yes it was
yes peter.
Not to shabbyyyyy if i say so myself
hi cameren it is Marlins daughter
Cameron says Hi Hailey!

Sharp long knife makes all the difference looks like.i totally mangled my 12lb coho today..🤣. We have 3 weeks left to try again.
This guy matches his knives with his wardrobe..WTF DUDE
if your watching this like i am right now chances are you have no clue how to filet a fish so ima give u a great tip because i fileted my steelhead BEFORE watching this.... GET A FILET KNIFE IT IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST NO EXCEPTIONS
he doesn't know, the best part from salmon is a Head.....yummy....
haha no thanks!
Why waste the head and central bone portion??!!
who is that
There still a lot of meat on the fish on your first cut.
Need some work there boss mab
Whats with the 70's porn soundtrack?
aEverybody should look at how a real pro works in Finland. RISTO KOSONEN KALANKASITTELY.
Why did you throw away the fish eggs that can be used as caviar
he didn't he used them as bait
this soundtrack does not help!
You didn’t take all the bones out. You left the pin bones in.
He left the skin on too, and he didn't cook it or eat it. Such a misleading video title!
Oh, wait...
Probably took them out later.
Самое вкусное вырезал и выкинул. Плавники. Эх, иносранцы
If your Asian you'd keep the eggs to eat lol
Step 1: have a sharp knife
you need to watch the way the indians do it.
Dude.... Your destroying that fish. Sad !
I personally feel that the eggy fish should not be eaten and it's not very much healthy for human beings unless the eggs are get out from belly naturally not by forcefully.
