how to fillet halibut

[mehemehe123]

Good job!

[nonfoods1]

My favorite, now it's peanut butter jelly fish!

[SuperMcfly12]

even in low quality i could tell it wasn't perfect lol. but pretty decent job

[Tooks77]

mmmm looks yum. does it taste anything like flounder? love flounders

[manxian]

did i see a little slip of the knife on the first fillet?

[juststl]

practice makes perfect

[justeglio1]

i have a better way but it takes a bit longer

[gmacwilli]

You're an artist.

[koonasplymouth]

Excellent job! I am curious though,do you leave the skin on? Do you have to "de-scale them? Is the fillets boneless,or is there "Y" bones still in?

[ramskrall]

yes skin is on there, there is no scales,and there is no bone left.

[BoettcherHman]

iv been cleaning halibut for a while, its a hell of a lot harder than it looks. you did a pretty darn good job. i do it completely differently, but whatever your approach, the end result is the same, and delicious. good job.

[BjplusMilo24]

casue at some points it dose't seem like it

[BjplusMilo24]

spreken in the english

[comtexcop]

nice job and that has to be a very sharp blade to gut through the rib bones like that. I've cleaned fish to 100lbs and it's more like field dressing a deer that anything else.

[rydersunion2]

is seen a couple of vids of people catching these just out of curiosity wat do u catch them on.. im australian tonight is the first time ive ever seen on so yea lol

[EVENGER6]

Well Done .

[andywhitaker907]

Yeah, I have been catching halibut in alaska for about 13 years... here the people make 2 fillets on each side, but you did a kickass job out of something that is way harder than it looks to some of these guys... I am impressed with the lack of waste you had... very nice job!

[platypusofpuppets]

Now skin it. :D

[videovigiIanteokc]

sloppy and slow

[platypusofpuppets]

Hes not gonna speed through it, hes telling theguy how to do it.

[ramskrall]

you are sloppy and slow amigo and proberly couldnt do one your self but its easy to have a go at someone over your own insecuritys,if i was doing it faster i would have to talk alot faster too and you wouldnt catch what is going on but anyways, if you can do better and give instructions at the same time, please do, i would like to see it

[spo5egy]

I'm blown away again ramskrall, beautifull

[p3rs0nan0ngrata]

That's a perfect filleting job done at a decent speed for demonstration purposes.

[Idtelos]

that's some good eating!

[niclassj]

That knife is pretty damn sharp. Well done mate

[UGLYSTIKCOLIN]

your supposed to make a cut down the back bone it makes this alot easier.

[p3rs0nan0ngrata]

That works for smaller fish, assuming you don't want a double fillet.

Does anyone else want to tell a professional how to do his job?

[Lurkur]

"should not be taken out of water"

Maybe i should ask the captain to put a sign up on the opening of the trawl "No Halibuts under 25kg" :)

By the time we get them, they are dead and it would be a waste, never mind illegal to throw them away.

[Rodnox]

11Kg? You should never even buy those babys. Halibut is close to extinction ans should not be taken out of water beneath 2 Kg.

[Rodnox]

somehow this did not work out. I wanted to write 25 Kg.

[dplgnr]

Nice job. I used to clean these for charter service tourists @ .25/lb. good income for a kid in high school. Ever tried quartering it? Seems a little easier to quarter, but your way works good too. Don't forget the cheeks YUMMY!

[fishermancynon]

great videos lad, one thing...get better video quality

top job tho matey!

[Lipton43]

Yumm looks tasty

[blackwaterstand]

very nicely done

[ramskrall]

i saves them for myself.

[Fisher73]

Great set of videos.

Do you use any particular special system to sharpen your knives, or just a sharpening stone and then a steel?

[ramskrall]

Thankyou for the comment, i tend to use a belt sander then a soft grinding wheel and after that a steel or a porclin pipe.[when needed]
