[kwarnisplayer]

What fillets knife are you using, and what do you use to lee it that Sharp! Norton stones?

[ljalaska]

@kwarnisplayer my knife is an old japanese fillet knife. I use a rada sharpener to keep it razor like! thanks

[dbowers914]

what about the cheeks? i have issues with getting the whole cheek in one piece

[ljalaska]

@dbowers914 the cheeks are great! try feeling with your finger tips to get an actual placement of your tip poke and cut! takes practice but....you will get it in time! thanx

[epicchapnasty]

do u have to bleed all fish?

[ljalaska]

@epicchapnasty bleeding your fish ensures better quality in flavor and texture. who wants a bloody stanky fillet!?

so, yes!

[flamedrag18]

@epicchapnasty it keeps longer and gets rid of the blood from the meat, if you leave it unbled, you get a irony taste in the fillet and job of filleting gets messier with all the blood.

right behind the guy down at the water is a good place to get king salmon 

[ljalaska]

@Carth501 have kills on soooo many salmon there! kings,silvers, and I actually caught a red there once too! And a few pimks as well! Silvers are in now! Hit the tide right. If you want reds there are a bunch of them still in Tutka B.

[dnahoghunter]

I need you to sharpen my filet knife!!!

Great "How To"

[bayrunnerak]

Yep...too many people mutilate their fish at the cleaning tables. The meat is all bloody and nasty with their hacked fillet full of bones. Good job Capt. Lance
