Passionate About Fish - How to fillet a whole Salmon

[dudespin]

I tried it on Pink Salmon today. I got a small nick on my finger, and I ended up with one a half a fillet and a lot of fish bits, LOL! I need to get the technique down and let the fish thaw out a little more (I bought a frozen whole fish). I leave the skin on because the wife and I actually like to pan fry in olive oil and eat the skin somewhat crispy. Thank you for posting this!

Magnifisently instructed video. Going to try it out on my fabulous species now.

The "silver flesh" you were talking about while before you deboned it was fat, very bitter and gross.

@jameswray50 Hello! It all depends on the species of salmon. We were working on Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and the silver skin is very neutral and helps to keep the flesh from breaking during cooking. Some other species of salmon have a different texture and deep 'fat-lines' through the brown meat, so would be best removed. We 'deep-skin' these fish, and therefore remove the silver skin. Sorry for the confusion x

You're a life saver! I'm hosting a dinner party and I've got 2 salmons. I've completely butchered the 1st(I'll probably be giving those peices to the people I find irritating :)) so here's hoping I could fillet the second one properly. You make it looks so easy!Thank you

@stupidintellect90 Good Luck! Take it slow, and you'll be fine x

Hi! First of all I think it's a really nice and educational Video that u made. But I wanna comment on one part. I don't really know much about cooking, but I wanna learn! At 02:14, u cut of the white part of the fillet, the FAT! Isn't it good to save that part. Doesn't it add flavor and all that kind of stuff? Anyway, as I said, Nice video and keep it up!

[Suelucas1965]

@ItsMichaelNilsson24 Hello, glad you found the video useful. The white 'fat' we trim away from the fillet is actually the stomach lining that protects the flesh from the gut, & is full of little bones, so best to be skimmed off. The 'good fat' in salmon is distributed throughout the flesh and can be seen as the pale 'fat lines' that run through the pink flesh. The fat in the flesh is full of Omega 3 which is an essential oil with many health benefits. Hope this helps x
