This was the most effective strategy I've seen (after many videos) to really get out all of the bones and have a clean and even filet. Thanks for the great work!
Very helpful, despite my earlier snide remark. If I ever order a whole trout in a restaurant, I'll try and replicate on the cooked fish what you showed here and maybe I won't end up with a mouth full of bones in every bite! Thanks.
Haha why would you order a trout at a restaurant and then have to replicate what was shown in the video...? You gonna go back into the kitchen & show them how it's done? Hah 😂
This worked ok. I tried this because I wanted hubby to smoke it. However I feel like there is a lot of wasted meat. I was using previous frozen smaller trout, so that may be why it was more difficult. Fresh would be easier. I think it’s easier to debone after cooking though with less meat waste. One thing I didn’t catch you say is to make sure you have a VERY sharp knife!!
@@MichaelKaal-TriFisher Personally, I think it's worth the extra few minutes to pick them out and have a nicer fillet, but can see it being a problem if you have a whole mess of fish to clean. I haven't had that problem yet. : (
Great video! Small suggestion, start with a dead fish. Either bleed them out by nicking the gill plate with your knife or insert tip of your knife in top of head and rotate knife a couple times. More humane treatment of fish. Thanks
Oh don’t worry, he was dead. I just smacked him in the head. Very fresh fish still have their neurons fully intact, even though they're dead. As soon as you add a bit of salt to the exposed muscles, the neurons are triggered and the muscles contract. So very dead fish will continue to move about until they use up all their energy stores.
Hey Nate, after you’re done cleaning the trout always rinse the fillet. A lot of people will bleed a fish after they catch it to reduce the fishy flavor. Overall just make sure you rinse everything after you’re done and it shouldn’t affect the taste
Terrible job of fileting, knife is to small and you don't need a fork. and thatguy-art all fish have bones and fileting them makes cooking them much easier.
I prefer a knife with some flex when I'm fileting trout. I have gotten to where I don't cut through the ribs at all. Not every time and not every trout, but it's possible
I have noticed alot of people leave the skin on. Is there a reason for it? Maybe it depends on how you are cooking it in the end? We always skinned them but maybe I have been missing something.

After catching trout for 25 plus years, finally a method that works! Thank you sir! 👊🏻
Your welcome
My man. Finally, a real trout man
Finally a trout video on bone removal thank you..
Your welcome

Thanks Tim, I’m glad you found it helpful
Thank you, easy to understand and straight to the point
Fantastic, I’m glad you found it helpful

@@DevinGrigsby Nah, I figure I'd use these tips to de-bone the trout after it's cooked and sitting on my plate.

I’m glad you tried it. It’s definitely good when you have bigger fish.
Great tutorial, thanks.
Glad you found it helpful
Good vid. Doesn't ignore the pin bones.
Pin bones are the tricky ones

Very helpfull thank you so much
No problem Blake, happy fishing man
When you keep trout for cooking later, do you need to cut the gills to bleed them out like you do saltwater fish?
I don’t believe it necessary for Trout.
Nice video thanks !
Background Music very distracting , hard to focus on the commentary.
Good to know for future instructional videos. Glad you liked the tutorial.
I didn't even notice it. I was glued to everything he was saying.

Will getting the blood on the fillet affect taste?

@@MichaelKaal-TriFisher thanks for the reply
Easy way to debone a rainbow trout
Yes
Glad you can clean your fish so I don't have to!
No problem!
Do you leave the skin on your fillet?
Hey Darrell, It depends on the recipe. Typically I leave the skin on.
If the trout is without bones why should I filé it?
Good one
😉
IF THE FISH DOES NOT HAVE BONES THEN WHY DO YOU WANT TO FILET IT?
That guy!

Where do you find a trout without bones;-?
I think at the grocery store. Honestly, the algorithm really likes the wording even though it sounds funny.
Man didn't even kill the fish 1st 😲🤦🏾♂️

@@MichaelKaal-TriFisher ahhhhh OK cool thank you for enlightening me 🙏🏾
@@SuccessForeverAstrology No problem
I would figure that a “trout with no bones” wouldn’t need to be “filleted”😂, the bones having already been misplaced before hand?
Commas are important
But, where do you find a trout without bones to begin with??? 🤔
Good point!
Enjoyed the video, but cutting toward your hand is very dangerous. Be careful and keep your non knife hand out of harms way. Otherwise good job!
This is true. Thanks for the tip. I want to keep my hands in one piece
down voted for blowing my eardrums out with intro. great content though
Glad you like the contact even though I blew out your eardrums. All part of the learning curve for editing
New subscriber here. We love your video! We have a similar UA-cam channel if you want to check it out, "Hunt and Gather with the Chatters". Thanks
I’ll check it out, I’m glad you like my videos
I've never caught a trout without bones
Good point. Come to think of it, neither of I. 😂
