Filleting a Fish

Filleting a fish is easy once you get the hang of it, is quicker and less messy than traditional cleaning, and harvests most of the meat of the fish, while providing a virtually boneless, clean fillet (steak).

An electric fillet knife can make filleting much easier, especially if you have a large number of fish to fillet, such as when you catch a haul of bluegill, perch, small bass or trout.
