Fillet fail... why the hell did you take the head off you goon....you made a 20 second process into a staggering 5 minute endeavor... you may be able to cook it, but please let someone who knows what they are doing fillet the fish

That blue has more brains then you and it doesn't have a fucking head.

@Hanley71 The process he went through would be called and in-depth explanation. No need to be so feisty. He obviously is doing better than you anyway. <3

You can get more meat without fillet this fish. You can even cook the head in a stew with some vegetables...

@griseum

I bet wherever you are form you can't hunt worth a damn.

I would have to teach you how to not be a complete idiot out in the forest...unless you are from Scandinavia...Southern Germany..or possibly Russia. Most people in USA are land-locked. so yes. People need this video....asshole!

[griseum]

wow, Well said and nicely articulated. I do my fare share of bluefish butchering and i think you have got it spot on as to how this should be filleted. Not to criticize you or anything, but i would also mention to take out the dark meat as this makes the overall taste a bit less fishy. Good job on the video Chef :)

[weatherkidd]

thank you!! :)

Good videos. I'm going fishing on a charter boat for blues and stripers in a few days. I've always had the mates fillet them, but this boat doesn't do that. It should be fun to see how I do with filleting myself for the first time.
