Filleting
This process works well for both small and large fish, giving you two boneless fillets: - Place the whole fish on a flat, firm surface.
- Using a sharp knife, cut along fish's back to behind dorsal fin, then clear through body to tail.
- Holding fish by tail, slice down side of backbone to remove fillet from rib cage.
- Separate skin from meat by working knife between them.
- Repeat process for other side.
