jeez people, all you scared of food poisoning, you need some food poisoning in your body so you wont suffer with so many allergies, i work in a restaurant, i do my best to work in sanitary conditions and serve good food, but due to the extreme health department requirements, every year i see more customers with problems, ALLERGY TO GLUTEN, NO NUTS, NO SEEDS NO SOY NO CORN, NO WHEAT, NO MSG, NO SALT, NO SUGAR, NO BUTTER, NO BEANS, NO PEPPER, AMG, SOME PEOPLE EVEN COME TO OUR RESTAU WITH LISTS
@Tapsa007 When you are packing 30-70 fish up from the river it's a lot easier to lighten the load before heading up the hill... the head, tail, and guts are back in the river. :)
@kansasa1 I did't understood everything you wrote, but my point was that filleting is much easier when the fish has head and tail. When you remove the ribbones, you should do it different way. I'll load someday my way of doing it. ; )
@Tapsa007 I can fillet a fish in less than 30 seconds so to me it makes no difference if the head and tail are on. But the main reason we don't take the heads and tails home is I gut the fish right on the banks of the river and it's much better to throw everything back in and not pack extra weight home. I look forward to seeing your video. :)
yyyyyuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmm!!! I have 3 big ole' sockeyes from PWS in my freezer just waitin to get eated!! I'm excited to try it this way, no one's really been able to teach me how, I always just end up with these big mutilated lookin pieces of salmon. thanks ;) I will probably check out the smoking stuff too!!
@Krispitexture Oh and I don't see what's so unsanitary about your video, i mean, these are wild fish, they don't have creepy weird diseases like food industry animals do. Plus, these fish are big, and in filleting them it can get messy. Do you want raw meat all over outside or do you want raw meat all over inside your house? You need a large working area to do it. I'd tell anyone who wants to criticize to do so after they have filleted a salmon themselves. :)
We just got handed two salmon out of the Klickitat river this morning. Cutting them in half to start with makes it a lot easier for me. Both halves are then flat and stable and much easier to handle. I lived on Kodiak Island in Alaska and filets a lot of fish but always taking the filet off the whole fish. Your way is better by a long shot.
@MrRaybrook Wow lucky you! Our fishing season has been over since September (I live in Lillooet BC) but I've got quite a few in the freezer. Some of them I fillet and vacuum seal two to a pack, makes it much easier for cooking in the future.
@shawneboy Thanks shawneboy, and yes no matter what I do with our fresh sockeye it always tastes great. :) I'd love to see the videos of all the people who complain but every time I go to their pages most of them have no videos at all. ;)
@Ultra4 You couldn't pay me to eat raw salmon and I believe fish factories have a lot more germs than my table or cloth. The video is to show how to fillet a fish and not anything else.
@ninokup Table hosed off, clean hands, and the salmon washed at the end... it's no different than using a wooden cutting board. Again I stress this is for our own personal use, not for sale.
nice video, ill use the tips when filleting the trout i catch lol. Plus once I finally take my dad out fishing for some salmon, i'll remember this :) good job with a regular knife lol I have seen and done worse lol (btw to whom are complaining) you can always trim the other stuff, so you wont waste anything :/ ah duh?! lol Thanks for the upload kansasa1
Stop wasting our time with waste, yes waste! thats what you leave on the fish bone, a big amount of profit, when sold in a restaurant can save the food cost and mean the chef's position!
Go to culinary school, get experience and then we talk about it... waste of time!
@OggGoblin LOL, I don't think I'd spend thousands going to culinary school just so I could post a video that meets certain people's approval. This works for me and a lot of people like it too. :)
@OggGoblin we catch the fish we dont pay for it. there for there is no profit and no loss. the meat by the bone and the belly is not good anyways all of the red fat there makes the fist taste overly fishy which is not how salmon is supposed to tatse. and im sure he probly isnt wasting anything, probly uses the scraps for crab bait. only people that dont know how to fih pay for fish then tell a fisherman how to do what they have done their entire life.your a retard, get back in the kitchen!
for those keep hating on about the conditions, i've seen surgeons operate in worse. outdoors, on natural wood? Come onnn! long as the surface is washed down, what you all expecting? MRSA?!? that only happens in the big city. :(
its great to be able to cook and eat al fresco! quit the picking, learn the lesson. happy eating!
@thethinking1 Thank you thethinkin1! (and I have to say your name is certainly appropriate lol) I put this video up 3 years ago for my Mom to watch how I clean the fish we pull from the river and I didn't think anyone would really care about my chickens, rings, table, towel, etc,. etc. Thanks for pointing out the "lesson," you made my day!
When you're splitting the dorsal fin on each cut, that's a nice tight fillet! Good job!
I use the same technique, but work the knife point over the rib bones so there's only two cuts- I was working in a supermarket seafood dept when a "regional supervisor" came in to train a dozen or so fish pimps to fillet salmon... a customer came to buy six salmon while the "supervisor" was demonstrating the "approved" technique. I filleted my six salmon to her one... ended up training the trainer... ;-)
@FineSmallStorm Thanks FineSmallStorm. That's too funny about the supervisor. :) I first saw the technique on a "How it's Made" when they were doing smoked salmon and thought "wow that looks easy!" Been doing it this way ever since, fast and efficient.
@pleaseletthisonework Nope, there's been plenty of comments about it but it's not fish for sale and we haven't died eating it, been doing it in the same place for over 10 years.
One filet cut make you lose a lot of filet. Do it in two cuts. First the filet over the spine and then the filet under the spine. The spine is the highest point, and theres many milliometers down to the bones.
@jamjoe01 I'm using a fillet knife I bought in a knife store in this video but I've now bought a salmon knife which is much stronger and has a rounded tip, it works great. I had to special order it from the web and it was tough for me to find in Canada.
Nice work. Judicious use of the gap in the table slats ;-)
I've just tried to fillet a salmon. It's all down to practice. I reckon I could do a better job if I had another one to do now, but by the time I try it again, I'll have forgotten all the things I got wrong today.
@moosey62 I've had lots of practice and needed to find a way to do them fast because we usually get a lot of fish. Not much this year tho' because the river is way too high. Thanks for the comment. :)
Bro, I was very impressed wth the Knife work. I dnt have an issue @ all with you neeting ur catch. Natives have more right then anyone. This was ur land 1st ;-) Please share any other points you have, on how to cook and dry fish as well- Joey
@stene12345 Dip netting is huge in Alaska, probably the Salmon capital of the world. Yes there is also sport fishing up here too, but I like most people like a lot of salmon dinners without a lot of hassle. Idiot.

@Flavio12034 I think you need glasses because if you think half the salmon is "wasted" (correct spelling) you are blind. What is left is very thin and those fillets are quite thick. Thanks for the comment tho'.
This is a great method...quick and you don't seem to waist much. I like how you demonstrate it from different angles. I'm going to give it a try next time.
@draycorrigan I don't have video of our catch but lots of pictures from over the years. Do a search for "fishing" at my blog kansasa.blogspot.com Thanks for the comment. :)
that is not the proper ways of fellieng fish specially salmon. no need to remove the head and tail before you fellete the salnon and i see more meat waste and i see the meat is broken
@12345673474 I remove the head and tail at the river to save us packing a lot of extra weight because we pack a LOT of fish at one time. It may not be your proper way but it works for me. I'd love to see your video. :)
@kansasa1 You should try gravadlax.a great way to cure salmon,we have just put it on our menu as a starter and it is flying out the door.much nicer than raw or salted.
@ShanieSuperBoy I had to google it but that sounds really good and I will certainly try it, thanks! :) I should say the salted fish I do is actually pickled. The salt is rinsed off after a month or so and then pickling juice is added, it's a recipe that came from relatives in Sweden... I think it was called Svella Culla or something like that.
@ShanieSuperBoy I think it will be a big hit around here because I often run out of ideas on what to do with all the sockeye we get. I've baked, pickled, smoked, dried, canned, and done almost everything I can think of and I will sure try out gravadlax. :)
@kansasa1 if you like i can give you my recipe.i will have to wait untill i go back to work tomorrow for the exct recipe but it is very simple and doesnt take long at all.
@zookyguy I could but I like to get rid of as much as I can and put it back in the river so it's not such a heavy pack up the hill when we bring the fish home, we tend to get 20-30 fish in our net each pull and that's a lot of extra weight. :)
@zookyguy Usually it's just two of us (and I'm always there lol). If the net has 25ish or more my husband starts pulling it in with the rope and I pull it along the shore of the river. We then both pull out the fish, I clean and gut filling up the buckets and he packs them to the truck.
@zookyguy I remove the head, tail, and guts at the river to save us packing a lot of weight and disposing of the extras down at the river saves us having it at the house until we go back down.
not sure how you get a fish that has head and tail removed but heres when you have a full fish available, cut out belly, then make an angled cut from head to stomach going behind pelvic fins. you can now use this cut to provide leverage for fillet cut. just angle knife slightly, and firmly glide blade along spine until tail. cut out the ribs of course. perhaps one of the best parts of fishing in alaska
lol@ the chickens. They are just waiting for the right moment to steal a piece.

that is not the proper ways of fellieng fish specially salmon. no need to remove the head and tail before you fellete the salnon and i see more meat waste and i see the meat is broken

@12345673474 I remove the head and tail at the river to save us packing a lot of extra weight because we pack a LOT of fish at one time. It may not be your proper way but it works for me. I'd love to see your video. :)

@BigDTinyE I do salted salmon BigD and it's raw but tastes good. Thanks for the comment. :)

@kansasa1 You should try gravadlax.a great way to cure salmon,we have just put it on our menu as a starter and it is flying out the door.much nicer than raw or salted.

@ShanieSuperBoy I had to google it but that sounds really good and I will certainly try it, thanks! :) I should say the salted fish I do is actually pickled. The salt is rinsed off after a month or so and then pickling juice is added, it's a recipe that came from relatives in Sweden... I think it was called Svella Culla or something like that.

@kansasa1 gravadlax is also from sweden and its just another way to pickle salmon,but with vodka.and it doesnt take that long.

@ShanieSuperBoy I think it will be a big hit around here because I often run out of ideas on what to do with all the sockeye we get. I've baked, pickled, smoked, dried, canned, and done almost everything I can think of and I will sure try out gravadlax. :)

You can do all that with the head and tail still attached and the gut still in. saving your self even more time and effort.

@zookyguy I could but I like to get rid of as much as I can and put it back in the river so it's not such a heavy pack up the hill when we bring the fish home, we tend to get 20-30 fish in our net each pull and that's a lot of extra weight. :)

@kansasa1 How many of you are there for the netting process?
zookyguy 9 months ago
@zookyguy Usually it's just two of us (and I'm always there lol). If the net has 25ish or more my husband starts pulling it in with the rope and I pull it along the shore of the river. We then both pull out the fish, I clean and gut filling up the buckets and he packs them to the truck.

@zookyguy To see our setup you can visit a blog post I did last summer: kansasa.blogspot.com/2010/08/flippin-busy.html

@zookyguy I remove the head, tail, and guts at the river to save us packing a lot of weight and disposing of the extras down at the river saves us having it at the house until we go back down.

not sure how you get a fish that has head and tail removed but heres when you have a full fish available, cut out belly, then make an angled cut from head to stomach going behind pelvic fins. you can now use this cut to provide leverage for fillet cut. just angle knife slightly, and firmly glide blade along spine until tail. cut out the ribs of course. perhaps one of the best parts of fishing in alaska
