[ederinho420]

[gtkatushin]

that fish es less than 20", thats why he say noo, nooo, noooo no lol. in Texas the legal limit is 20 to 28 inches. lol

very helpful tried to clean one the other day looked like a Quentin Tarantino movie

[ChiefBrock]

In my area legal is a slot of 15 inches up to 23 inches...anything bigger is a breeder and has to be released.

you people need to start dying off, so the seafood prices will go down. i can't afford to eat good fish like this.

[FAUrock]

good looking filet! I suggest doing this outside, and away from your vegetables ( 7:35 )

A stock is a liquid made from boiling fish bones, shrimp shells and such. It can be used in place of water to make better tasting seafood gumbo.

@sgaspard01 i got some cock stock for you : /

[Twindey4123]

Thanks for the video! Whats a stock? The bone piece you picked off at the end and what are you using it for?

If you want something really tasty, check out my Margarita Redfish - Matagorda Seafood Platter. You can find it at Real Cajun Cooking - Pure and Simple. RealCajunCooking . Com

since the first time I left the skin and scales on the fillet of a red and blackened and grilled it, I've never taken the skin off since. reds tend to be a little dry, if you leave the skin and scales on they are soooo moist and tasty. come right off of the skin. you should give it a try next time you catch one.

[ElfenLiedPhsycoFan]

[Bbfishman]

filleting a fish in the kitchen? why wud u want to do that?? this is always an outdoor thing bcuz of the scales and guts...throw it right in the water if u live on the water, or right in the garbage...enjoy cleaning up that mess while i hose off a patio table!

[sgaspard01]

Yep - it was raining outside, which makes it difficult to film. Ordinarily I would clean my fish at the pier.

@sgaspard01 first off - you need to scale the fish before you cut into it..keep practicing.

@sgaspard01 first off - you need to scale the fish before you cut into it..keep practicing. that "red line is called the "blood line".

[joeyb6486]

i thought reds were legal from 18-27

[taylormadeNo1]

@joeyb6486 20- 28 here.

[tinytimme]

hahaha....if it was only 19 inches it would be an illegal fish.

[surfandlacrosse904]

@tinytimme 18-27 inches

[sgaspard01]

In Texas the legal limit is 20 inches

[EMOgoku]

i live in southern louisiana and we got a few reds but mostly we catch black drum and the young ones taste just like a red fish but filleting them is a bitch and a half. you know how to fillet a black drum?

[wbridges75]

Thanks for posting, Awesome video, Just caught my first Red, can't wait to start filleting him. Thanks again.

A couple of things:

1. The fin that you cut next to is called the pectoral fin.

2. It helps if you try to get up under the scales instead of starting your filet by cutting straight down, or thru the fish.

3. On the stomach portion of the filet be sure to cut the meat up above the midline of the fish, towards the dorsal fin. Redfish stomach bones extend high, high...you might have noticed yourself chomping a few bones with your last meal.

Thanks, good video.

[sgaspard01]

Thanks - My pop actually caught me by surprise - this was pretty impromptu, which you can probably tell by the roughness of the audio commentary. I usually do my cleaning outside, before I start drinking beer. ;-). This time, I was about three sheets to the wind. I rarely, if ever have any bones in my fillets. It's pretty easy to feel the bones with your fingers on the fillet, then trim them off. I'm always open to suggestions for improvement, though. Thanks for the reply!
