beautiful looking catch and nicely fillet'd. did you just throw the head of the fillet? we usually use that for soup.

[fyi65]

man y didnt ugive the head to the annoying bird

[lewandlo]

I have done a lot of fish and why would you do all that work on cutting all the fins off and then fillet it? Just fillet it and leave the rest. You even cut the head off only to fillet it after? I`m not being an ass but why all that work just to fillet it?

[SonnyRCAFDC3]

@lewandlo Well, I cut the head so I can guide the knife on the top side of the bone structure, I cut the fins off so that when I get to the centre of the back i use the bones there to guide me through the back side, the rest of the way is pretty straight forward. This method allows me to do a really nice fillet. If I do it ur way I end up trimming the fins off afterwards. The clients I have like my method and I think I'll stick to it. However thanks for looking @ the vid. Newhorizoncharters.ca

[hahaha4047]

was this done early in the morning like before 12 am or what

b/c it seem so early

[bendchod]

Absolutely amazing!!

[jockeyhanes]

i have a mouth watering right now, this must be very yummy, fresh catch, wow! very healthy living...

[Mooseracks]

And if you take a spoon and scrape the back bone...you can often get lots of meat for some NICE BURGERS!!

[Mooseracks]

Nice Job!!!

[SonnyRCAFDC3]

@Mooseracks Thank you, We did this vid to show how easy it is to fillet a fish without removing the guts and with a very sharp knife we can accomplish that task. The vid is 4 min. long however it only takes 2 min. to do a quick butterfly fillet.

[shhhakedown1979]

man, i've been looking all over for a vid showing how to fillet off a whole fish like that. So little wasted meat!

[MoBCoviN911]

Thanks big guy, I just looked at your vid on the intelligence of orcas going for the seal.Real cool.

[sinistermodified]

AMAZING SONY!

[CwsRock]

I apsolutely LOVE Salmon. It's very tastey and we have like this topping for it, its the best! Cool video! Now you made me hungry.. ha ha ha! Your lucky to live somewhere where there is alot of Salmon to catch and eat.

[cyjeren]

I like you guys, you rock! it is mouth watering watching your video, so nice to cook it in olive oil with lots of pepper...

[mthay037]

those pin bones come out fine if you want to pull them out with a pliers. take a pliers and lay flat next to the meat and it'll take 4-5 pulls per side. works good.

[omgwhoisreadingthis]

will someone shoot the bird it was so anoying but great vid can u post one filleting a bigger salmon

[RCAFDC3]

The technique is the same, however, since the fish is much bigger ie, 40 to 50 + we have to get someone to pull the fillet away from the skeleton as we cut along the bone,otherwise the fillet impedes the proccedure.

Thanks for your interest, and the damn gull did go on for a while didn't it!!!!!

[omgwhoisreadingthis]

thx for replying, i mean like could u demonstrate a diffrent way of filleting salmon mabey with a bigger knife bigger fish because i have heard size in knife and fish makes a big diffrence. thx again!

[RCAFDC3]

Size does indeed matter! Or so my wife tells me. I'll be fishing for salmon and halibut in June and if, God willing, I land the big ones, I'll post a video filleting them. Thanks for your interest.

[delightracardeanne]

@RCAFDC3 Hey, I've seen salmon cut another way where you cut it... like, ... a U shape? I dont know what that's called, do you have any idea what I'm talking about? I've always been curious about that.

[MOZZWIGAN]

that bird is annoyong haha

[redlance8691]

Nice Job! Do you recommend any particular brand of fillet knife? Also, from what I know putting the salmon carcass back in the river is great for the eco system! It releases valuable nutrients to the river providing numerous benefits.

[RCAFDC3]

Thank you for your kind comments. I'm sorry I didn't get to your question earlier. I use a 7 1/2" stainless steel knife made in Finland, distributed by Rapala. For larger fish, I use a 9 1/2" knife. You are absolutely correct regarding the eco system. I'm sure the eagles, bears and crab enjoy the treat, too.

[RCAFDC3]

I agree with you about throwing carcass in the river however this is the OCEAN and there are thousands of fish and crabs that eat all the remaining meat off the bones. But you might tell all the salmon that go up RIVERS to spawn, that they should not die in the RIVERS but wait and do it in the ocean. Then the Eagles, bears and other wild life would get on your case because your screwing up the eco system!!!!!

[studywar]

You shouldn't throw the dead carcass of a fish back into the river, stop polluting the ecosystem, you meat eaters r whats causing global warming and all these problems.

[xAnesthesiAx]

your a moron, eating meat has absoloutly nothing to do with global warming, you dont think another fish or birds will eat that stuff? unless ur on a lake throwing that back into the water is no problem. fish die in the water all the time. it doesnt make the ecosystem any worse

[Sushihunter250]

You are an eco-challenged moron. You may know the buzzwords, but you know nothing about ecosystems. These Salmon spawn and die in RIVERS. Their rotting bodies supply food for bears, otters, eagles and other creatures. After the young Salmon hatch, they feed on microscopic bits left from their parents. Think about that next time you are at the sushi bar.

BTW, great video!

[kiminokami]

Eco-nerds are so lost in fantasy.

[TemplarX2]

@studywar Fish die all the time in rivers. Actually he should throw the carcass back to maintain the ecosystem and prevent the depletion of nutrients!

[datroof18]

Awesome! Tell me, aren't there pinbones left in the butterfly fillets? How do you remove them, if so?

[hellokitteneater]

i like salmon

[RCAFDC3]

If the pin bones are the side bones that connect to the latteral line no, they stay in till the salmon is cooked then they come out easy. If you wish to remove them like we do for ling cod, then you can slice on either side of the bone, but then the fillet doesn't look good, or you can pull them out with tweezers which is a little time consuming.

[datroof18]

Thanks - great video, and great response to the moron re: ecosystems, etc.!

[donnieboy123]

a pro. thanks.

[yuyuhjkdsuyy]

no probs thanks for sharing :)it isnt as simple as it looks.

[kiminokami]

I'm sure it takes a lot of skill to achieve such simplicity.

[yuyuhjkdsuyy]

very skillfully done!

[RCAFDC3]

thank you, you're very kind.
