let me make a point. its a fish. and theres billions out there so sit the fuck down and calm your balls. he caught it he can eat it the way he wants it to be eaten. you cant control any one else the way they eat. so shut the fuck up again.
You wasted so much meat on that. Tsk tsk.. Plus why are you so lazy that you cant use a normal knife? Electric knifes? That's bullshit this society is getting so lazy, Things just don't take true skill anymore.
That is exactly how you clean a Striped Bass. You have to remove the red meat, or they taste gamey. If you like that fishy taste, then leave it on. I have never met a single person that actually likes it though. It does reduce the amound of good meat that is left. But that is the reality of it. Some people just gut them and use the whole fish, head and all for stock. No waste there but really, who eats that crap?
You need to catch a bunch to get a lot of meat but he did it correctly.
lmfao sadly, i have to agree with these illiterate bastards that cant spell simple words. but it seems that you did waste a good portion of that fish, was there any reason for that(not edible or something?) or did you just want the good looking cuts? (just asking not criticizing)
instead of chopping all the dark meat away I leave it on when cooking it it comes right off, so it's better than cutting all this away, and you save more white meat
The best thing to do so you don't have to waste all the fish is common sense.
You catch the fish and right before you throw it in were ever your keeping it
you grab a knife you make a cut across the bottom of the neck all the way threw and bleed the fish. Your problem is solved no more wasted fish all the blood is out. i do this with all my fish nice white meet all the time.
I realize you have to get rid of the blood. I had the same problem up here in Canada with Pike. Then 2 russians showed me what to do.The head,centre bone and its meat thrown away makes an incredible soup. Get rid of any guts or gills and boil with an onion and spices like fresh dill and parsley for 20 minutes then strain, keeping fish. You will have an amazing stalk. Then add the fish back in ,potato, a little barley and chunks of 2 other species of fish. Simmer 10m
I don't really use my electric knife unless I have to clean 10 or more cat fish. I just like to fell my blade run through my fish and it looks really clean. Not saying eclectic knifes make fish look bad just not as clean as a filet knife blade...
Thanks for the vid...I've been looking for a review on this knife, or at least to see it in action. I was gonna go with the Rap crap but then seeing this; it looks like it has A LOT more power. I have a $25 BP gift card so it should make it easy :D Thanks.
Nice work! I haven't eaten but one of these and I did not remove the darker meat as you did so masterfully! Some of the old guys had told me the strippers were good to eat, as long as the darker meat is removed! Antone else saying different must not be fisherman!
im from rhode island and i catch and filet stripers all the time and make great dishes out of them and wa u did was a waset of a good fish the name of ur video should of been how not to filet a fish
LMFAO. That 5 pound striper turned out to be 5 ounces of filet. I guess you said, "This video is to show how to filet a fish" you really meant that it's not the way to filet a fish.
Dude you were done at 1:15 ....finito! Just because that flesh is colored doesn't change the flavor...Just cut them top to bottom 3 inches apart and deep fry in canola oil with egg and kentucky kernal flour!!!!
not necessarily some areas have special health advisories for the consumption of certain sportfish. for example where i am from most of the Long Island Sound has a 1 meal per month advisory for striped bass and bluefish for PCB's
Dude, just ignore the assholes here... thanks for the video. I was looking for something to justify buying one of these and now I have it. I fish for catfish a lot and most of the filleting is very easy with them... but they do have the same layer of subcutaneous fat that tastes like shit and carries a lot of toxic material.
Seeing how easy one of these electric knives makes removing that layer of nasty really makes me want one bigtime!
@djmakko If it's anything like the abundance of stripers you can catch where I live (dozens - over a hundred a day) one might find it a pain in the ass to fellet them one by one with a hand knife :D
That's the reason the electric knife came out in the first place.
What the hell is everyones problem. Good filets. I personally wouldn't use a power saw but those filets came out just fine good video. I don't see what part of the fish was wasted.
My only suggestion is to not complete the cut at the tail, but rather flip the fillet over. This enables you to use the carcass as a "handle" when removing the skin and blood layer. I agree with previous poster about staying up off of the skin. Perhaps go with a regular knife for final trim.
Perhaps you can offer the bloodline, etc. to those who want it. They probably wouldn't care if it were frozen either!
Thanks for understanding! Some fish can be eaten, some can be cleaned, but some need extra attention to be consumable...it's a shame that most people on this video feedback don't understand my point.
WAAAAAASSSSTTEDD THE HOLE FIISSSHH. POOR FISSHHHH.. MAN you killed THAT POOR FISH JUST FOR YOUR FAVORITE PARTS AND YOU WASTED THE RESTE OF THAT poor FISH.
how2fish, you may know how 2 fish, but you certainly don't know how2fillet. You wasted the poor thing. I'd rather eat the fish in its whole format than filleted your wasteful way.
you have never cleaned or eaten a fish before from the looks of it. that red strip is foul tasting and should be removed. dumbass, go learn before you go arond youtube talking shit.
i'm a proffesional filleter and i fillet from 05.30 to 15.30 6 days a week so i do this quite a bit. one tip for the blood layer is what we call final cut. when skinning, you want the knife to skim about 2mm off the ski leaving blood on the skin.
yea...u shud deffinetly be able to get a lot more meat off that...i fillet blues and bass everyday on a sport fishing boat....im sorry but d be fired for a fillet like that
That's truly an amazing job! I know personally how tricky these fish are to clean..I'm catching on slowly. I've got two nice fish around 34 inches that im about to take a stab at so i figured i would check out a how-to to find a different approach. Great Job. Great Video.
Holy shit! That is all the meat you get from a big ol' fish like that?? That's a damned shame! Hardly worth killing it if you are gonna throw that much of it away. I've always wanted to catch a striper, but I practice catch and release.
As I mentioned before, these fish have blood lines that are very unpalatable and need to be removed, leaving less eatable meat than other fish. I enjoy eating fish that I catch. I practice "releasing" by not eating fish in restaurants which are caught and processed much less humanely and without my effort.
thats Y in all the stripers filleting clips i watched they would go back and trim the fillets again. if you leave it on, would it have a bitter taste?
Pull your bunched up panties outa your ass and quit calling people names to start random pointless shit. I didn't "talk shit", I simply said it's a damned shame that's all the meat you get off a fish that size! Grow the fuck up.
Yes, you are talking shit. You start acting like you know what your saying before you know what your talking about, Im not sure how your dictionary is written, but to me that would be called talking shit. Ands it not a dammed shame, its the right amount of meat that is on one fish.
Check it out kid, I'm getting bored with the email notifications that a punk brat has talked more trash on my post over something as assinine as wethere or not "it's a shame" you can't get more meat of a fish that size. So, yah, grow up, go outside and play, or fix your fucking Xbox so you have something better to do than this. Look at all the posts you've made to "talk shit" to all these people. It's a pretty pathetic way to kill time and amuse yourself dude. Go learn to sk8!
Holy crap man, I hate Xbox, I hate skateboarding also. Its not a way to kill time its a time to prove what im saying ok? If you would just realize, there is people on here telling a professional that he doesnt know how to fillet fish and doesnt know what hes doing. Do you think thats so right? So get outta my face and shut the hell up.
...and BTW, if you don't want someone "in your face" don't get into other peoples faces about their posts in the first place. Otherwise, deal with it. No one hired you to defend or shoot down other peoples opinions, so stick to just posting your own opnions like everyone else and leave other people the fuck alone and you won't have half a dozen ppl on a thread coming back at you for you BS.
Obviously you do, or you would not have posted rants in reply to so many posts on this vid, or keep going back and forth with poeple over posting their (our) opinions about this vid, as if we had pissed in your shoes or some shit. You're aq bored little punk kid who tried to stir shit with a bunch of strangers on the internet and only came up looking like an ass. Live with it and go find something else to entertain yourself.
All I "get" is an endless steam of emails from YouTube that someone has replied to my post on this stupid video, and every time I get such an email it is once again, YOU posting something assinine. How about you simply post in regard to the fuckin vid instead of hitting "reply" to give shit to everyone here who did so? If you wouls stop replying to my posts instead of just making a post of your own you would not have this back and forth shit going on, and I'd be free or your BS. So go play kid!
Youre retarded, I pretty much replyed once or twice in the beginning and then you go on and on acting like you know everything, I may be younger than you but im not stupid. So in the time being, grab me a beer, wash the dishes, and shut the hell up like a good bitch.
End of story. So dont bother replying cause you dont know what your talking about.
Here is where we disagree... you ARE stupid if you think that you should be able to talk trash to a complete stranger in reply their post, which has NOTHING to do with YOU in the first place, then actually think you can continue to talk the same trash every time they TELL you that you're an idiot for doing so, and top it all off by thinking THEY are a bitch because they DON'T sit back and take you shit quietly and give you the last word. You're just here to stir shit. Grow up and go away kid!
I'm sure you are... because you are just an imature little web troll with no life and nothing better to do than yank strangers chains on the internet. At the end of the day though, I have a hell of a lot more going for me than this shit. So laugh it up.
What im laughing about really is that you assume something when you know nothing about the person. What the fuck is a web troll anyways? I dont suck people into shit. People like you suck themselves into it by making a stupid ass coment first. Then I abvously am gonna talk back tot hat asshole if what they are saying aint right. So seriously man, fuckoff, I got better shit to do than arguing with a steryotypical asshole like you.
Let's see, you attacked my post and about 6 others when I said it was a shame that was all the meat this guy could get off this fish, called me names and talked shit to me, a total stranger, for commenting on a vid that isn't yours to start with, then came back at me with more of the same when I clarified that I'd not "attacked" this vid or claimed knowlege of anything I've never done. Sounds like a web troll to me alright.
I didnt attack you guys. You guys literally attacked this video. You pretty much told a professional that he doesnt know what he is doing and you shoudl be ashamed of that. By the way, I can talk to people on any video I want. Theres a comment box for a reason dumbshit.
Is it honestly my fault if you guys were talking shit on this video long before I did? The poster of this video has stopped commenting back to you guys. Probably cause he is sick of sick of your guys shit.
"Holy shit! That is all the meat you get from a big ol' fish like that?? That's a damned shame!"
Yah, looks like I "attacked" huh? I'm vicious! ARRGH!!
Get a life dude. I commented on how much meat you get, not how the guy did the job of getting it, and you came at me like I had popped your sisters cherry, then came at me again when I first clarified that my post was NOT attacking him, and have been coming at me every time I've responded to your bullshit, and are still doing it.
Listen man, I am actually gonna show a few guys what an asswipe fag you are. You dont say this like that to a guy who knows what hes doing. What is a damn shame, is what you told him. Yes you did pretty much attack him, now a quick question for you, have you even cleaned a fish at all before? And heres a little tip that should clear up this mess. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK
Right, you go ahead and show some guys, cause it's not like the whole thing is on the INTERNET for EVERYONE to see anyhow, right? And yes, I've cleaned fish, but never striper, and I was surprised that so much of it can't be eaten, which was the jist of my comment. Had I known you were appointed "comment police" and that attacking me for voicing my opinion was something I'm supposed to quietly accept... well, I'd still have posted, so get stuffed.
Actually that's the ONE reason why I would actually buy one of these knives in the first place. That "red meat" you refer to is subcutaneous fat and aside from having a _terrible_ taste, it's where most toxins absorbed by the fish are stored. Lots of toxins like PCBs, mercury, and so on, are fat soluble and stored in the fish's fatty tissues.
Removing that crap isn't wasteful, it's important both in cooking tasty food for yourself and not poisoning yourself.
such a waste. so much meat is lost in the process. better to gut and scale the fish especially when the fish is fresh. fish cheaks are the best part of the fish when not over cooked.
I agree. There's so much meat lost in the process of filleting. Starving people in Africa would MURDER for that bit of meat that is thrown away. We take for granted the bounty that we have for the sake of convenience.
that's a lot of wasted meat, too bad.

you should give it a try.

Holy shit! That is all the meat you get from a big ol' fish like that?? That's a damned shame! Hardly worth killing it if you are gonna throw that much of it away. I've always wanted to catch a striper, but I practice catch and release.

As I mentioned before, these fish have blood lines that are very unpalatable and need to be removed, leaving less eatable meat than other fish. I enjoy eating fish that I catch. I practice "releasing" by not eating fish in restaurants which are caught and processed much less humanely and without my effort.
Release in the Grease!

thats Y in all the stripers filleting clips i watched they would go back and trim the fillets again. if you leave it on, would it have a bitter taste?

then dont talk shit if youve never done it before, thst is the average amount of edible meat on a striper that size dumbshit

Pull your bunched up panties outa your ass and quit calling people names to start random pointless shit. I didn't "talk shit", I simply said it's a damned shame that's all the meat you get off a fish that size! Grow the fuck up.
Mindcrime121 3 years ago
Yes, you are talking shit. You start acting like you know what your saying before you know what your talking about, Im not sure how your dictionary is written, but to me that would be called talking shit. Ands it not a dammed shame, its the right amount of meat that is on one fish.
And you tell me to grow the fuck up.......
72Alouette295Escort 3 years ago
Check it out kid, I'm getting bored with the email notifications that a punk brat has talked more trash on my post over something as assinine as wethere or not "it's a shame" you can't get more meat of a fish that size. So, yah, grow up, go outside and play, or fix your fucking Xbox so you have something better to do than this. Look at all the posts you've made to "talk shit" to all these people. It's a pretty pathetic way to kill time and amuse yourself dude. Go learn to sk8!
Mindcrime121 3 years ago
Holy crap man, I hate Xbox, I hate skateboarding also. Its not a way to kill time its a time to prove what im saying ok? If you would just realize, there is people on here telling a professional that he doesnt know how to fillet fish and doesnt know what hes doing. Do you think thats so right? So get outta my face and shut the hell up.

Obsess much, Cornholio? Who gives a fuck??
Mindcrime121 3 years ago
...and BTW, if you don't want someone "in your face" don't get into other peoples faces about their posts in the first place. Otherwise, deal with it. No one hired you to defend or shoot down other peoples opinions, so stick to just posting your own opnions like everyone else and leave other people the fuck alone and you won't have half a dozen ppl on a thread coming back at you for you BS.
Mindcrime121 3 years ago
Man, do you think I honestly care.....
72Alouette295Escort 3 years ago
Obviously you do, or you would not have posted rants in reply to so many posts on this vid, or keep going back and forth with poeple over posting their (our) opinions about this vid, as if we had pissed in your shoes or some shit. You're aq bored little punk kid who tried to stir shit with a bunch of strangers on the internet and only came up looking like an ass. Live with it and go find something else to entertain yourself.
Mindcrime121 3 years ago
You actually dont get it do you?
72Alouette295Escort 3 years ago
All I "get" is an endless steam of emails from YouTube that someone has replied to my post on this stupid video, and every time I get such an email it is once again, YOU posting something assinine. How about you simply post in regard to the fuckin vid instead of hitting "reply" to give shit to everyone here who did so? If you wouls stop replying to my posts instead of just making a post of your own you would not have this back and forth shit going on, and I'd be free or your BS. So go play kid!
Mindcrime121 3 years ago
Youre retarded, I pretty much replyed once or twice in the beginning and then you go on and on acting like you know everything, I may be younger than you but im not stupid. So in the time being, grab me a beer, wash the dishes, and shut the hell up like a good bitch.
End of story. So dont bother replying cause you dont know what your talking about.
72Alouette295Escort 3 years ago
Here is where we disagree... you ARE stupid if you think that you should be able to talk trash to a complete stranger in reply their post, which has NOTHING to do with YOU in the first place, then actually think you can continue to talk the same trash every time they TELL you that you're an idiot for doing so, and top it all off by thinking THEY are a bitch because they DON'T sit back and take you shit quietly and give you the last word. You're just here to stir shit. Grow up and go away kid!

Im sitting back laughing at you, maybe I should go make some popcorn, this is getting too funny......
72Alouette295Escort 3 years ago
I'm sure you are... because you are just an imature little web troll with no life and nothing better to do than yank strangers chains on the internet. At the end of the day though, I have a hell of a lot more going for me than this shit. So laugh it up.
Mindcrime121 3 years ago
What im laughing about really is that you assume something when you know nothing about the person. What the fuck is a web troll anyways? I dont suck people into shit. People like you suck themselves into it by making a stupid ass coment first. Then I abvously am gonna talk back tot hat asshole if what they are saying aint right. So seriously man, fuckoff, I got better shit to do than arguing with a steryotypical asshole like you.
72Alouette295Escort 3 years ago
Let's see, you attacked my post and about 6 others when I said it was a shame that was all the meat this guy could get off this fish, called me names and talked shit to me, a total stranger, for commenting on a vid that isn't yours to start with, then came back at me with more of the same when I clarified that I'd not "attacked" this vid or claimed knowlege of anything I've never done. Sounds like a web troll to me alright.
Mindcrime121 3 years ago
I didnt attack you guys. You guys literally attacked this video. You pretty much told a professional that he doesnt know what he is doing and you shoudl be ashamed of that. By the way, I can talk to people on any video I want. Theres a comment box for a reason dumbshit.
Is it honestly my fault if you guys were talking shit on this video long before I did? The poster of this video has stopped commenting back to you guys. Probably cause he is sick of sick of your guys shit.
72Alouette295Escort 3 years ago
So really, you're the one being a web troll. Now why dont you shut the hell up cause I have a lot of important things to do. The end
72Alouette295Escort 3 years ago
"Holy shit! That is all the meat you get from a big ol' fish like that?? That's a damned shame!"
Yah, looks like I "attacked" huh? I'm vicious! ARRGH!!
Get a life dude. I commented on how much meat you get, not how the guy did the job of getting it, and you came at me like I had popped your sisters cherry, then came at me again when I first clarified that my post was NOT attacking him, and have been coming at me every time I've responded to your bullshit, and are still doing it.
Mindcrime121 3 years ago
Listen man, I am actually gonna show a few guys what an asswipe fag you are. You dont say this like that to a guy who knows what hes doing. What is a damn shame, is what you told him. Yes you did pretty much attack him, now a quick question for you, have you even cleaned a fish at all before? And heres a little tip that should clear up this mess. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK
72Alouette295Escort 3 years ago
Right, you go ahead and show some guys, cause it's not like the whole thing is on the INTERNET for EVERYONE to see anyhow, right? And yes, I've cleaned fish, but never striper, and I was surprised that so much of it can't be eaten, which was the jist of my comment. Had I known you were appointed "comment police" and that attacking me for voicing my opinion was something I'm supposed to quietly accept... well, I'd still have posted, so get stuffed.

that red meat only makes it taste a litle bit fishyer most people don't even notice it fucken waste douch bag
bowfisher9 4 years ago
Blowfish14- you are to young to even know what a douche bag is used for ... and if you eat the red meat you probably will never know.
how2fish 4 years ago
Actually that's the ONE reason why I would actually buy one of these knives in the first place. That "red meat" you refer to is subcutaneous fat and aside from having a _terrible_ taste, it's where most toxins absorbed by the fish are stored. Lots of toxins like PCBs, mercury, and so on, are fat soluble and stored in the fish's fatty tissues.
Removing that crap isn't wasteful, it's important both in cooking tasty food for yourself and not poisoning yourself.

such a waste. so much meat is lost in the process. better to gut and scale the fish especially when the fish is fresh. fish cheaks are the best part of the fish when not over cooked.

I agree. There's so much meat lost in the process of filleting. Starving people in Africa would MURDER for that bit of meat that is thrown away. We take for granted the bounty that we have for the sake of convenience.
