kokanee filleting / how to fillet a kokanee by kokaneekid

[@MrMacdurbin]

Great tutorial! Thank you for making it, you're a great teacher. I live in New Mexico and we have the Kokanee Salmon snagging season coming up Next month, my first time. I'll be sure to use your filet technique! Thanks again!

I started saving the spines with a little meat on them and some of the other parts I trim off in a zip lock. I'm going to try boiling them with vegetables to make a soup stock for a salmon soup.

Thank you so much. I know how to filet a trout now, nice technique!

[@GreedeeVids]

Thanks for the tips! About the same method as doing a King or Chinook by the looks of things. Well done!

[@MutedBlade]

thanks, great technique. Will use this weekend.

So does the fillet have any bones after you're done with it?

[@MarkoAbo]

Beautiful job, but I sure find it easier to butterfly a small fish then bake it and the bone just lifts right off with zero meat left behind!

[@kylemonkey]

So kokanee dont have pin bones like a trout?

[@glenmartin9974]

Thanks for the great video! What's the purpose of scaling the fish, do you eat the skin?

[@kokaneekidFishing]

The scales on a Kokanee are very small and get all over the meat, and they are hard to rinse off.. So I prefer to scale the fish it keeps everything cleaner.

[@glenmartin9974]

That makes sense, thx.

[@TJwasH3RE]

so, are there still pin bones in the fish?

[@Shadofx]

I would say yes since he didn't cut them out.

[@pc6262]

Nice work

[@pharmseller]

excellent!

[@1984WillS]

I would of thrown that baby Kokanee back and let it grow up. That seemed like it was a very long process compared to most fish I and others have filleted.

what the hell is the point of taking the head off and gutting it if you are filleting it.
