Learn to Filet Fish Like a Pro

That's one big fish. We're gonna need a bigger... knife! On my latest video with Shun Cutlery, I'll teach you how to break down a snapper and halibut and you'll learn all the best tips for purchasing and utilizing fresh, whole fish in your own kitchen.
First up, snapper aguachile. I like to make my aguachile with lots of cilantro, lemon and lime juice, serrano chiles, cucumber, honey and coconut water. It’s the fundamental balance of salt, acid, sweet and spicy. Layer on your fish slices, crisp cucumbers, crunchy shallots, smokey toasted fennel seeds, a few edible flowers, if you have any, and fresh mint and cilantro leaves.
Then, it's time for poached halibut. This is the type of classic recipe that reminds me that simple is always better. First, we are gently poaching the fish in an aromatic fish stock made from the bones, trim and skin of the whole fish. I’m serving it with a traditional creamy, emulsified butter sauce, beurre blanc, and charred radicchio.

I wish I had the bank account to get a whole Halibut to practice these skills. Looks like catfish will do.😂😊

Hmm. Sounds like a knife challenge. That reminds me. I need to sharpen my knife before I prepare my evening meal. Thanks to my grandpa. Best homemade knife . Best part. He showed me how to sharpen it.

Who is going to teach this guy?

[@imperialhistorian4201]

Yeah but whole fish is more expensive than filets for some God forsaken reason.

[@LM-oi3sf]

True. Fishing is cheap and fun though

[@Toketree]

It’s kind of wasteful to buy a whole fish just to eats its balls Andrew
