Nice video, would of been better if you would of shown how to fillet both sides. But this was helpful none the less. Many thanks for willing to show people away of filleting a flattie.
why all you chefs take the fillet off in two pieces is beyond me,cant you take it off in one piece ,and dont be saying you get better yields etc that way because that would not be true,i cut about 58 percent yield on these as a professional filleter.im not having a go at your style im just curios as to why all chefs do this as it really is alot easier taking it off as one fillet 4 cuts each side job done
I really liked your video, but after reading your comments to people on here... now I just think you're a pompous "know-it-all"/ smart ass. However, your video was still quick, accurate and straight to the point. Although, you didn't show how to fillet the other side of those types of flat fish, which is a little more difficult.
Thanks for pointing me to the comments below. I should be marking, but this was so much more fun. As Elsie Tanner would say "there's nowt so queer as folk". Its like one of those dinner parties where everyone is at cross purposes. The only sage in the room is completely ignored, leaving him/her slowly sinking into the soup.
All power to your apron David, and I hadn't noticed the bendy knife until now - its so cool!
. . . For example, the name 'Graham' has an 'h' in it and 2 syllables and yet Americans insist on saying 'gram' which is, actually, a unit of measurement. And don't even get me started on the way Americans pronounce 'Bernard'!
i say graham the same way you do. i have family in scotland and didnt realise that they say fil-let untill just last week when i ordered fish supper. haha
NonAmerica? Is that like, um, the rest of the world? Actually, although the gram as measurement may not be standard in American kitchens, it is in American scientific labs but really nice try at putting me in my place. Should I stick out my tongue now?
"the rest of the world" is one way to say it, but America is important enough to feel like that is not so immense of a concept. Science is science. It needs to be standardized. It is a separate entity from American life.
Hey, G - narky, Here is g- sarky: Before you post and attempt to correct someone from a different country you might want to read through the posts so that you don't embarrass yourself by attempting to correct something not in need of correcting. As a pizza hut chef you must have spent too much time watching McDonalds "fill-ay o fish" commercials. Please realize that different people in different countries (and even different states) have different ways of pronouncing things . . .
Well thanks for that. As I've said before - if you care to look at previous comments (above?) you'll see that I'm always glad to be corrected by our colonial brothers.
you'll also see that previous correspondents (see songsofexperience) have given reasons for my pronunciation.
Glad - again, as always, to be put on the spot by pizza hut 'chefs' (wife shouts from the wings - "and an American pizza hut chef at that!")
wtf? im not a pizza hut "chef" im a cook. i put toppings on pizza crusts i made the day before and i throw it in a giant oven. i dont really make anything.
All these years and I'd not noticed, sorry. I'd better go and tell the local fish suppliers too, because for the last 40 years that I know of they have been calling this Plaice. THEY think Flounder is a similar but entirely different fish, caught off the east coast of England.
It's always so good of you Americans to correct my mother tongue. I'm embarrassed to say thank you.
Looks like a plaice to me, granted fishmongers are noted for their creative marketing, Flounder is occasionally labelled, Lemon Sole but I don't think even the most brazen of them would go so far as to paint those vivid orange spots on a Flounder.
By the way, this year there is some excellent black bream to be had on the Sussex coast. Alas by the time gets to Waitrose it's too late and it'll taste like a sumeo wrestler's jock strap, just like most Flounder in fact.
I can see I have to intervene. Actually, if you wanted to attempt to spell the pronunciation, you'd have to go with fi-lət or fi-ˈlā. Both David's pronunciation and that suggested by redeyes are correct. And if I must go further, the word is ANGLO-FRENCH derived from Latin and let me tell you, those who spoke Latin would never have said "fell-ay" as so kindly proposed by redeyes. Redeyes' comment appears jejune, in all 3 of its major definitions.
Actually fell-Ay is good basic French but being taught English (which coming from England, is my first and only language) by people from Snohomish is always a privalage. Thank you
Ironically fell-ay is an American imitation of modern French pronunciation. In French emphasis is placed on the first syllable and the T is stopped not replaced by a Y, rather like the stopped T's of estuary English. Americans often exasperate this by placing emphasis on the 2nd syllable so it becomes -Flayyy- In particularly bad examples a syllable is added -Flayeh-, again ironic because it requires a stop at the end.

1. He's cookie not a fish gutter who spends his whole life cleaning fish.
2. It's an instruction video not a demonstration on how fast he can fillet a fish.
