How to fillet a Flathead

[danxy9909]

That's a descent sized flathead you got there mate!

Thanks for the top vid will try this way in future. Suggestion, try setting your video camera for youtube vids to record in lower quality to begin with, or convert b4 upload. I know you uploaded into lower quality with the youtube conversion, but I assume those pesky lines have come up even when you play it at home. It's a problem with good cameras I've had myself. You can use splash player lite to play your high quality vids you want to keep at home. Hope this helped you in return for your vid

Why do people call them flathead tails when clearly it's the body you eat, not the tail?

[PoshLifeforME]

For bottom dwellers, they have the sweetest flesh

GREAT TUTORIAL!! Thank you so much!!!!

[irishlad2727]

Thank you very much. That was an excellent tutorial. I caught my first flathead today (Caloundra QLD). And now I am going to fillet it and devour it.!!. Thanks again.

Very nice filleting. My technique is almost exact to how you've shown. People who ask, why skin it?, Simple - crumb and fry it. If you've never had battered flatty tails before, you're missing out.

[mayadanava]

Excellent tutorial!!! Thanks for this. But do you need to gut it first? Gutting should probably been mentioned.

I'm from Kangaroo Island i caught a 93cm Flathead. I thought i was a small shark as i was bring it in biggest Flathead Ive seen

[Barrykrocker]

why would you skin a flattie?

[Moparmal]

is there any need to "gut" the fish 1st?

[Barrykrocker]

spearing big flatties if fucking lame

[DotandDotProductions]

Brother just speared an 87cm monster! can't fillet it like this because it's too difficult to cut through the bones running up the back. So he's taking to it with an axe and hammer :D

[hashbr0wn94]

[imcomin4ya]

this guy is hopeless

[arsenalisthebest1]

i just caught a 50cm one bout 2 hours ago

[MilesB1975]

I just caught one about that size about an hour ago, shoulda kept it now I think of it!

[subasurf]

I take it that removing the skin isn't essential? As in, if you were going to bake it, panfry it or cook it on hotcoals.

[madkeen2]

No need to skin it if you don't want. Is easier to fry without the skin as the skin shrinks when cooked and distorts the shape of the fillet

[StupidKunt09]

not absoultely essential but just makes it easier. cuz you still have to scale it and thats a bitch when you have alot of fish. i find its just cleaner to skin it

[PlasmaSilver11]

I caught a flaty the other day and I went to throw it back in and my dad got a bad as cut from the spikes!

[Hobbanobbachobba1]

[sambyfield]

[pottsyla]

[d24isDURIAN]

[560fisherman]

Mate that's an excellent video and worth every bit of 5 stars, well done.

[BOBBITabc123]

I just remove the head and guts and cook it whole.

You pick the meat off the bones so none gets wasted.

But your way is better for little kids.

[rozzaa72]

flathead tails are bloody expensive

[TheAngryFishermen]

Nice old mate

[smorrish88]
