  • Why do you keep switching knives? Isn't there just one knife that could work for everything? .....I mean I understand they have better control with each size...but I only want one knife!!

  • You need to have a knife that can cut through the larger bones. If you use your filleting knife to do this you will take the sharp edge off it and/or damage/chip the edge of it.

  • is that brooms head ????

  • No, Whyte Island, Brisbane

  • Yep, it is a Snapper - Pagrus auratus (formerly Chrysophrys auratyus). Common to Southern waters of Australia from Coral bay in Western Australia to Capricorn group in Queensland.

    Anything else you want to know :-)

  • Jesus, watching fish fillet videos always makes me hungry.

  • hey bro thanks! now i can go catch em and fillet them my self! love your accent!

  • Mate im an apprentice chef and it's always great to learn from people like yourself.. i had to fillet a snapper a bit bigger then that and it took a while.. now i know how to fillet it cleanly not missing any party of the flesh and those bones in the middle. Appreciate the video.. David from Sydney.. Good on ya ..

  • im sorry but you have turned something very simple into a marathon. 

  • you dont need to cut the rib bones flick the knife up then run down with the ribcage youll miss them. Im a professional filleter in a fish market. it takes us a max of 5 sweeps of a blade each fillet

  • OMFG!!! WOOT THANK YOU MAN! Im 13 and i just filleted my own FISH!! YeaaH!!! thanks man :) but its not as smooth as your's its like ripped up but STILL! i done it =] practice makes perfect :)

  • bloody good to watch champ keep the good work up

  • alright thanks that was good...now I'm going to give it a go.

  • Nice presentation.

  • Nice one! I make a hell of a mess with the snapper, this helps :)
