    When filleting, could you use the same technique shown for the freshwater fish, where you avoid the ribcage completely?

    For steaks do you have to eat around the ribs/spine. Or is there an easier way to cut and clean those unwanted pieces out first?

    • @mrbluenun

      When cooked the fish will flake off the bones including of course the spine.

      +Nizoq kr Just be careful doing so in your area. I know that here in NY, it is illegal to dispose of fish within 100' of any public water source. I don't know what the laws are wherever you are, but, just though I'd let you know.

      First cook the veggies in butter, the leek and onion, without browning them
      use mild onion if preferred, échalotes, silver onion....

  • @giausjulius4
    @giausjulius4 Před 7 lety

    I always gut the fish regardless of what kind of cut I am doing. Just something my dad got me doing with whatever I catch. The guts get thrown back into the water and the carcass I will section up and put in a plastic bag or tupperware container (I do this for salt water fishing btw). I'll keep that under refrigeration until I am going to go out again. I take it out and leave it in the sun for a day or two to stink up (in the container, of course) and then it makes for wonderful chum in salt water fishing.

      Yes. Using the edge of the knife, find the pin bones. Then, you can either cut them out, or pull them out. On smaller fish, you can cook them away.

    Bass/perch works great to put you're thumb in it's mouth and break backwards until the neck snaps. You will fell and hear that happen.

    I usually smash it´s head to stun it and then cut through gills, after minnute you can easilly work with knife, but be careful about nerves. Nerves works even when the fish is officially dead so you can get hurt when the fish whisks.

    When I fillet I don't slop the fillet back on a shitty, scummy, board just to lift the skin off. And I don't need to wash when done at all!, water helps start the decomposition of flesh when you introduce more moisture to the meat and may not be properly dried or reduced before storage. The same thing apply to venison.
