the fish is a paid actor everybody no fish was harmed in the making of this video
Xd
XD LOL

FFFFF confirmed. (false flag fake fish filet)

Did you free him when you were done?
yes he lived with no injuries
haha
+The Cutsie Diamond well its long dead even before you start filleting it. though some people bash the head right before filleting a fish
Omg its just a joke
+The Cutsie Diamond good that's what happens when you eat something that was alive m8
That “zipping the walleye” tip was the best thing I’ve watched today. Thank you.
I’d figure i learn how to do this before the apocalypse
Same here we're kinda running out of time
Yea same, but just to be safe and prepared
Hell yeah. I’m with you guys.
Don't kid yourself, youd die right away in an apocalyptic situation.
@@BrokenGodEnt i guess thats better than living in apocalypse lol
Could the cameraman stand 2000 feet farther away?
QuartetmanIA stop complaining, you can learn just by listening to this guy
QuartetmanIA
lol funny lol
but a good video never the less 🐳
QuartetmanIA I think google earth footage is more closer than this one
to hide the terrible mess the electric chainsaw made
Foreal gonna have me eating bones and shit
Best lesson yet. I used to fillet wide mouth bass but it's been years, this video was the ticket for both wide mouth and the walleye hubby brought home today. Many thanks:)
Perfect teaching speech, straight to the point, clear, informative, fast, as well as the takes and angles, and without those enraging idiotic and time consuming comments sooo overused by most of hosts on the Internet.
Agreed 👍🏾
Done to perfection. I've used the same technique on walleye for the last twenty five years. Never a complaint of a bone found in the filet.
Aside from some far away shots, this is a really great and helpful video! I’m originally from Wisconsin and my grandparents had a cabin on a lake up in the north woods of WI and grandpa would always be filleting fish for Friday night fish fries and teaching the older cousins how but by the time the younger cousins were old enough to learn, the older cousins were the ones doing most of the work (there’s about a 6 year or so gap between my older cousins and me and my younger cousins.) Just watching this video really brought back some good times and fun memories so thank you!!
Having lived in Michigan on the lakes my entire life, this is the best and cleanest way to fillet. Never used an electric knife though.
Very use full video....
Village food factory it is
Useful. Not use full. Pro tip
@@samufrog9304 No it's use full
@@d4nkx549 definitely isn’t
One minute I'm watching normal shit, the next I'm watching how to cut fish
MemeLord Tucker
444//dead//死 filet*
444//dead//死 is this abnormal? Idk man i watch this kinda shit everyday lol
444//dead//死 lol me too
Don't worry you're still normal
Thanks! Very good technique for Walleye.
Here in Sweden we use every piece of the fish possible.
Do not throw the carcass away.
Use the head (remove gills though), carcass and the bone line you remove in the demonstration to make a marvelous fish stock.
If you like a stronger, fishier taste use the skins as well.
Portion up the stock, let it set and then freeze.
Use in soups and fish sauces and gravies.
If you're intrested in Swedish fish recipies please just send me a message.
Thanks again for a good video!
I know this is an older comment but, I'm always down for new recipes if you are offering them.
Here in the Big Time we don’t like fishy tasting fish
great job. one of the best videos on filleting fish on the web. Very little waste and a nice clean fillet.
just tried that technique, worked like a charm and it's my first time doing it. awesome video, much thanks
Thanks for sharing these impeccable recipes with us. We are delighted that all the videos of all kinds of recipes are the best of the best.
"They're made of Kevlar, so if you get shot in the hands while filleting a fish you'll be fine"
Happens all the time
You'd be surprised how often fish pull a gun on you when their life is threatened.
*If anybody out there thinks this is cruel you should go out in the wild and watch what other animals do each other for FOOD*
James Smith yes because in this the fish is already dead but hyenas eat their food alive
@@journeymankaprosuchussaddl179 Hyenas don't often hunt. They will kill snakes, insects, small animals etc. Occasionally if required the pack will kill a large animal. 99% of the time though they are scavengers feeding off of already dead carcasses. The reason they notoriously have amongst the highest jaw strength of most mammals is because they chew through bone
Mike Who it might be a legal size fish, you can’t know the exact size nor the laws for it where this was filmed if you don’t know where it was filmed
If he used a ice bucket then yes that's really inhumane also when a fish suffocate it makes it rot faster and gives it its stinky fish smell
Inhumane? Please. A gator would chomp a fish in two seconds and poop it out the next day. Eating beef is murder. Yeah tell me that when a coyote or a wolf shreds that sonofabitch cow if we let them free in the wild. But we humans have to live off of beans and sprouts and sugarplums. Fish don't retire to AARP. Other animals eat them
Great video Paul, I am sure many people will learn from this.
Love your channel. Been lurking it for awhile and just subscribed. You’ve taught me a lot. Thanks!
Great technique, much faster than how I did before, thumbs up from me. One little detail worth mentioning: for small perch going along the ribs with a knife is very difficult because the ribs are so thin and fragile, but you can peel off the flesh from them just by gently pulling on the filet with your hand (like peeling an orange).
I remove the lateral line by using a shallow “V-cut” so when it’s pulled out the fillet remains in one piece. Press your knife flat at the edge of the red meat and slice under it from the dorsal and the belly side. These cuts do not need to overlap or meet in the middle, when you pull the strip all the red meat and bones stay together and you have a white fillet in one piece.
Thank you sir. I was able to fillet fish to cook for my parents for the first time today thanks to this video
I have filleted a pile of fish and seen a bunch of guys demonstrate it. This is one of the best vids on UA-cam for the beginner.
I agree. I'm a total noob and watched a few and this is the best one I've seen so far
Somebody hire this guy as a science teacher.
I hate the taste of fish, but I love watching these videos xD
more for me !!
Fresh fish is very different to frozen fish from the grocery store. It tastes much better.
how can you not like fish! a freshly caught fish then immidiately grilled is the best!!
its all about how its prepared
I've eaten fresh fish both from lake and sea. And for me fresh fish means 15 mins or faster on the grill. And still, I don't really like the taste of the fish. However I really like any king of crab, shrimp. They are absolutely delicious. Fish is not my taste :) I prefer beef and pork :D
Love the close-ups ...I need one of those electric knives to make cleaning Perch easier. You make it look too easy. Great job.
They really don’t make it easier mate, just keep your knife sharp and your good to go. Professionals don’t use electric knives for fish
Very good video. Very instructive!! Nice job. Loved the zipper ideal on the blood line!!!
Nice job but I would recommend not cutting the tail off. Not everyone has the glove and the tail makes a good grip for taking the skin off. Not trying to start something here but there are a lot of haters on this post. This is about fishing people!
Good tip, glad you never got shit for it
Some folks eat the tail; it gets really crunchy when fried.
I don't cut the fillet all the way through so i can flip it over the tail and use the body of the fish as an anchor. You can get really close to the skin this way and it's just overall easier.
*Is the fish OK?*
Yeah, it was just an actor. Everything is fake these days.
+Papa Franku is love, Papa Franku is life. it was a stuntfish
Yes he's swimming free
Lol
yes
no problem
Just filleted my first ever fish last night. Used your video to learn how. I probably left a bit more meat on the carcass then I should have but it'll get better with practice. Thanks for the clear explanation. SO easy!
Excellent video, great step by step instructions this will help people like me all over the world to eat what we catch.
The demonstration is appreciated, but the vid would be a lot better if you didn't switch to shots that are zoomed all the way out. We need to see every step close up!!
Zeh Zahl, he made this 8 years ago. Why comment now?
@@delterflam8965 The person commented 4 years ago, why would you respond to them lol?
Superb Post. Well presented
Love that you added that stripe trick for walleye. I don’t know a damn thing about prepping fish but I’m gonna learn!
this is one of the best ive seen. good job :)
Don't you just love how they oh so subtly avoid showing the amount of meat still stuck to the skin when he skins it? Especially with the electric knife.. man
It's fine. You can throw that back for the other critters to eat.
When you use a gentle downward pressure against the skin using either an electric or filet knife there is no flesh remaining on the skin.
Skin is often my favorite part of the fish, I rarely cut it off at all

Ugh... why do these people comment when all they say is crap like this.

this is a good very informational video. Thank you!
Great tutorial guys, those specific tips are very useful
It was all good till 8:42
He already left a lot of meat from the beginning so it was not that good at all
soufiane Mouatassim
soufiane Mouatassim If you know how to do it better plz make a video.
CURTIS CONYER Stop with this argument already, just stop
soufiane Mouatassim It's not an argument as that was my first response to a comment. Which is allowed because comments aren't disable. However you read my comment however you saw fit. I was actually saying if he knows of a better way then make a video. If I knew how to do it properly I wouldn't be watching this video to begin with now would I?
Stop zooming out!!!!!!!
Great vid!!! Keep up the good work. Thanks for the tutorial!
Very informative video. Thank you for posting it.
But did it dieded?
It is deaded
Daan Janssen The head will regrow a full body over time if soaked in water long enough.
As plausible as that sounds, when fish use their legs on land, it still counts as swimming, not walking.*****
but what if fish was not kill
+Sam Gritzke i unlike your post everything elses is okay
Thanks very much, Mr. Powis! Very helpful......
P.S. You said, 'in the bush'.....You must be former military ?

This is a very good video, great explanations, well done! Thank you for providing this!
Nice video. You do those fillets way better than I do.
The camera man is to close, maybe step back a few more miles
How the fuck does this have 2.6 million view?
Last minute people who just caught a walleye and looked for a last minute video.
ootie extreme 2 million people watched this video
***** But .. 2 million views ..
+KeeDot Exe 3 million..
+KeeDot Exe everyone like it!
Of all the fish cleaning videos I've watched you are the only one I've seen do it right.
You make it look easy! Thanks for the lesson 👋🏽💖 Pink Pond Princess stoped by
It's funny how people overreact with preparing things like alligators or cows but they don't give a crap about fish.
Fish don't feel pain and aren't even self-aware.
They're basically like tastier plants lol
How do u know they can't feel pain? Are you a fish?

That's a toatally fake source, why do fishes scream whenever I cut their heads off? That's right, u got no answer, ':)
I have never once heard of a fish screaming. 0_o no lungs, no vocal cords, thus no screaming. plus these fish were expired anyway so stop complaining.
I like fish
Wow
متوكل احمد
Allahoo snackbar
Me too
Same
Same but what I don’t like about filleting fish is parasitic worms in the fish
Great video! Thanks for the upload!
I've got some perch fillets in the fridge, going to have some fish tacos tonight! Learned a few tips from this video too!
Electric Fillet knife out in the field? You've got to be shitting me? Hang on, an Electric fillet knife? You're definitely shitting me! Yet again another solution to a non-existent problem.
I guess when you've run out of problems to solve you've gotta start making them up! There will always be a plenty of impulse buyers that have to have the "latest greatest"... Apple/ Iphone is just one example of many companies that "BANK" on these type of people... I guess Rapala would be another.
don't forget that cleaning the electric fillet knife is going to be a bigger pain in the ass than a normal one.
Ok maybe he said bush but there are more important things than yelling at him about himmsay a electronic knife in the bush cut some slack
You just gotta love fillet elitists. How about for an elderly gentleman that has extreme arthritis but still wants to enjoy his catch? An electric knife will be easier for him to cut with.

Question: Why do you have to leave the tag if you are going to travel and take it off when ready to fry?
It's because if a game warden shows up, and they want to know what you've been catching (that's what the tag does) and know that you're staying within the fishing limit. If the warden doesn't know how many of each fish you've caught, you could be fined or serve jail time. once you cook them though, it won't matter.
Elizabeth Olsson Jail time!? WTF?
cat vs dog well you see when you don't pay your fines you will be put in jail until you can either go to court or pay your fines
Elizabeth Olsson still that's messed,
it keeps fish species from going instinct, while jail is quite harsh, it keeps good fish populations. Most of the time you just get off on a warning, especially if you don't look like you know what your are doing, but of course it varies state to state
Thank you for this tutorial and shared!
Superb displays for practicals and to watch videos and practice.
Nice Tag Heuer watch!
I was trying to figure out what brand but for the hell of me i couldnt catch it
Its a late 90s early 2000s Tag Heur Link, this was the expensive model, great looking watch, holds up well to this day.
I find it sad that people would throw away so much. I grew up eating whole fish and also some part from the head and definitely as much skin as possible. It’s so delicious when you appreciate the fish for what it is.
+Rene Hupfer Totally agree, great video but yeah I agree with you.
+Rene Hupfer agree. Japanese baked the bone and turned it into crispy snacks.
I depends on how good you are at filleting fish, I can get all the meat off the bones, but I don't eat the skin. Most fish in saltwater have a lot of blood near the skin, and make the meat taste fishy.
+Joshua Couling haha makes the meat taste fishy ... it is fish ...
+CookieJuice no, the blood tastes nasty, but the meat is fine, and people call it the fishy parts, aka nasty parts.
Thank you for this video this is very helpful to newcomers such as me thanks
Nice clean instructions. Love it
Why do people eat fish but don't want a "fishy" taste?
People are wussies
Difference between the taste of raw meat and cooked meat.
Why do vegans want fake crap to taste like meat
From my experience working in a seafood restaurant for several years, a fishy taste is sometimes synonymous with the fish having gone bad. While it's not always the case, usually the fishier smelling and tasting the fish is the older the fish tends to be. Other than tuna, mackrel, and salmon which sometimes have no smell but can still be dangerous to eat. Most fish filets have almost no smell to it when it is freshly cut, except for a slight salty smell depending on the fish.
Again, a fishy smell and taste is usually correlated with the fish starting to sour.
It reminds me of some stinky vagina. I didn't want to eat it then and I still don't.
I think the cameraman should stand 20 more feet away
Awesome!!! You and @thundermist are the only 1's who remembered the cheeks!!
best video yet. Sam Barrington is the man. I wish he played for New England
How to Fillet a Fish
OH I JUST NEED TO WATCH THIS
You don't gut the fish first before filletting it?
I was gonna say the same thing. I always do this. I don't think it's necessary obviously, but it just makes life easier for me. I pierce through the vent, and create a shallow cut up the belly so I can pull the guts right out of the fish, and then I proceed to make my cuts behind the gill plates, and fins and proceed to fillet.
Doesn't hurt the meat any, and it gets the guts out of the way easily. I mainly eat Walleye, Perch and Crappie. I don't eat any other freshwater fish.
No, you don't have to gut the fish to filet them. It's easier AND not as messy.
you gut them before filleting just to add insult to injury. then feast on the organs to let the other fish know you're not fucking around.
This actually could be easier than gutting the fish. You have to cut the ribs away anyways from the fillet why not do it with the organs still in the meat and save you some time.

I love Walleye Wally and his ichthyological splendour.
very nice video and well executed.
I never knew there was a chunk of meat in the Walleye cheek
In Canada we call them poor mans scallops cause that's what they taste like
Just like chicken nuggets. Flip them in flour salt and pepper. And pan fry them. Soooo good.

please let me have the part you throw away. it attracts turtles and makes good chum.
Great bait for a crabpot 👍
So perfect! I really like this video. Next time I catch some Emperors, I'm going to do the same. Thank you.
this guy makes it look so easy!!
so much wasted meat when filleting a fish. Most people don't realize that the remaining bone with meat makes a great soup stock.
Thats's right for saltwater fish , but freshwater fish lacks of enough taste to make a good soup.
Alex ill make sure to mail mine to u
Will this work on Hillary?

Thank you so much for teaching us.
wow ! U gave me a new idea how to fillet my fish. thanks
"Just the tip... In an inch... Gradual strokes.." .. Fish porn! Lol
Oh god wtf
Why am I watching this? I don't even like fish...
I enjoy watching your show.
Thanks for the Video, learned a lot!
This is maybe the way restaurants cleaning fish's but that's not the most efficient way.
can you eat river fish???
Kimberley Morawski Yep
Nooooo
Depends on what river and the pollution.
I caught 2 walleyes while visiting my brother in MN. Hell of a fish.
Thank you, you helped me prepare a great meal last night.
u wasted a lot of fish meat man .
deniz mennis no he did not because that meat is terrible for you
You always "waste" meat when you choose to filet. That's kinda the point.
Not really. He wasted fins, guts, scales and bones! ...which no one sane wants to eat !
deniz mennis walleye is a bit tricky fish to fillet since it has lots of bones.
Fish stock with the rest!
that's just too much waste of meat. TOO MUCH
suyesh bhandari Agreed! Just sad that people do this.
+suyesh bhandari
I hope you can recover from the shock.
Suyesh Bhandari the rest is bad for u that's why
Agreed, he left a Lot of meat in the bones when cuting, shameful
Finally a video where someone knows what there doing
Thanks for showing us a great way to fillet are catch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bob
4:09 remove any fishy taste. A fishy taste in fish, wouldn't want that now would we?
Well, if you aren't be sarcastic, the fishy taste he's talking about isn't a pleasant taste. The fish itself is good, just better without that part
Arturo Salazar but it's a fish, shouldn't he be using another word to describe the unpleasant taste?
+Vincent Viloria I've heard ppl say fishy taste but I guess there should be another word.
+Arturo Salazar never tasted a fishy taste because I know how to properly cook my fish
Vincent Viloria you obviously arent that much of a fisherman are you
Everybody knows that an inch is all you really need! lol...
I'm gonna have to try that zippering thing when I go out for walleye this year.
Thanks this helped me out with my exam on 3 hour cooking
