Yep he got like half a fillet its easier just to gut it cut beside the gill and take both whole sides remove the ribs cut at the tail through the spine and leave the 2 fillets connected at the tail. Works great for smoking on hanger racks or frying
Catfish have a big belly filet, it is easier to cut than the others, is just as delicious if not more, and is almost the size of a third filet. Definitely worth taking 😁
You call that garbage? I'd like to invite you to Nigeria. Have a taste of our catfish pepper soup or barbecued catfish. Your life would never remain the same again
@@louschwick7301no, its using most parts of the animal. Its a waste. Most developing countries would only throw out guts. Bones and head are great for soup.
He should've been more specific, but I think this is bluegill catfish, which are native to much of America, but invasive to the Chesapeake Bay area, which based on the location of his shop (New York), is probably where it was fished up.
They are invasive but can be controlled. In our country, if you have a fish pond or a shrimp/crab cage and you see some catfish swimming below, expect your harvest cut in half
This dude cleans catfish like he’s never been to a family reunion before. When you’ve got a hundred in the cooler, that dainty stuff will make grandma drop her dentures.
That's not garbage. The belly meat is a great piece of meat. Everyone I know down in the south takes the belly meat. Many just toss the guts, they smoke the rest of the meat on the bones and scrape it off to make dip..
Always bury your fish parts if its more than 1 day to garbage day. I tossed some catfish in the dumpster the day the garbage got picked up. It was in there for 8 days. The whole neighborhood was washing out their dumpsters thonking ot was theirs.
Watch him fillet every fish there is: ua-cam.com/video/wcueSXGueJs/v-deo.html
Violent or repulsive behavior reported
Lmao why would we wanna watch you fail breaking down much harder fish????
Not garbage. That's fertilizer.
I agree, but would chickens eat it. 🤔 I know they eat lizards, mice, and snakes.
It's also bait to catch more catfish
@@lunarcorpse Chickens would go FERAL for those fish scraps!
Sounds stupid but you can cook even that(except the pupu) to give your soup more taste
@@melonenkopfchen6318 I don't doubt it lmao. My uncle married a Chinese lady, and her mom will cook every part of a fish
"You don't want the smell"
Me who guts fish outside:
Ong bro, I was like why didn’t he pull the skin off the whole thing then just remove the head entirely, at least that’s how I was taught
@@edwardhalbrooks7571agreed....i learned the hard way never cut the head off before taking the skin off
that’s exactly what i was thinking 😂 and then you don’t need to just throw the body away you could use it for something cat food, fertilizer etc
The belly meat he threw away is some of the best meat on the catfish!
Yep he got like half a fillet its easier just to gut it cut beside the gill and take both whole sides remove the ribs cut at the tail through the spine and leave the 2 fillets connected at the tail. Works great for smoking on hanger racks or frying
Also he can use the head for fish stock or make a hearty soup out of it.
Ikr
@@fabricoble77256catfish head broth
That sounds awful
I'd rather have sock stock
Cause at least I know what my toes fed it
Belly meat is chewy lol. Idk why people like it

Well said I always take the belly meat and if they are big enough they have some awesome cheek meat .
Same. Love that belly meat. Different texture.
Someone who throws out half of the fish, still has a lot to learn.
Go on, try to eat catfish guts
@@Ray-vo2uxwhy would you eat the guts wwhen you can just take the belly
Facts, can't forget that belly meat for sure
If it wasnt a catfish id agree with you, but thats the only part of that fish I'll eat
catfish is a bottom feeder bro
You call that garbage? I'd like to invite you to Nigeria. Have a taste of our catfish pepper soup or barbecued catfish. Your life would never remain the same again
Because his life would end?
Keep your dirty food in Nigeria
Catfish soup goes hard. I do it mexican style and give it a squirt of lemon before eating
Ik. Every asian/eastern european/ african/ just basically anywhere out of the western world is FUMING rn
@@louschwick7301no, its using most parts of the animal. Its a waste. Most developing countries would only throw out guts. Bones and head are great for soup.
I am thinking of submitting an application for the termination of his Asian card for throwing away a majority of the fish
It’s been 3 weeks, what’s your final verdict? Did you submit? If so, did you hear back yet? I need the deets! This is serious ish.
agreed if its the guts that smell and are horrible remove said guts get whats around
With invasive species like this i dont see a problem at all
"americans" amirite. 😂
@@thememan1387wait yall dont eat the guts?
This is the first time I've ever heard someone say catfish are an invasive species. News to me.
Here's more news: There's more than one ecosystem on planet Earth and not every ecosystem naturally has every species of catfish.

@@thurantpnh6687 Thank you! That clears up literally all of my confusion on that.

ill be sure to keep this in mind if i ever get catfished
Agreed
*Law and Order theme plays*
I'm calling 911 on you 👀
Same
Depending on your location they are not a invasive species.
Lol..that's not garbage... that'll make for a tasty peppersoup
Preach! 😂

Definitely tell a city boy. Belly meat of a cat is fine. Guts really aren't that bad for the most part especially if it's a fresh catch.
Brother wasted half of the catfish.
There are native catfish in USA, not all of them are invasive
Not Garbage, that is great composting material! Get with the program!
Catfish head is delicious in soup!!!
does this hurt the fish?
The catfish is dead so...
Physically, no. Emotionally, tbd
This fish is dead
Not at all, the catfish is a paid actor and he goes through stuff like this all the time!
The fish is fine but he died
Head and tail isn't garbage if you know what to do with it. Grandma used to make soup with the head and tail.
That is not garbage that is great fertilizer for the compost heap
This is such a niche thing that for most people, it is infact, garbage
The belly part is my favourite .need to learn more
In my country,we fried it and eat it with rice and gulai
Gulai tempoyak 😅

"This is garbage" *tosses whole half of catfish away*
*My aunt Mae processed to walk you out to the curb*
This is why I carve my cat fish outside
Was about to send this to my Mom, Phew glad I watched it first
"This is garbage"
How is this not quoted more often?
1. I wouldn't clean the fish in the house! 2. The belly meat is some of the best meat on a catfish! This dude must be one of those ivy league chefs! 😮
You forgot the beginning where you have to smack it in head with a hammer.
Belly meat and the cheek meat is not garbage
It's not garbageeeee
That's not garbage. The belly meat is a great piece of meat. Everyone I know down in the south takes the belly meat. Many just toss the guts, they smoke the rest of the meat on the bones and scrape it off to make dip..
That’s why your supposed to filet them outside
My mans made that look so easy! ‼️‼️
Hey guys, spirit of the law here
Just my ten cents, gut em first before you fillet.
YES!
Totally missed the belly meat, which is where you get what are commercially called catfish nuggets.
What u threw out if you put it in your garden. You will have huge juicy tomatoes.
You missed the belly meat the best cut of meat on the fish
miss this guy
Catfish, the infinite food glitch that garbage would catch you a few hefty catfish
Not garbage...it's fish sauce
That's not garbage, that's cat food
Don't throw the rest of the fish, make fish fertilizer out of it. Your plants will thank you!
Ate one out of a clear mountain lake in Austria. Delicious white, flaky meat!
Yep that's why flaky catfish is one of the best fried fish
Master Pi Mei loves catfish heads.
Bruh you can make a mean catfish soup with the other half lmaoo
Did you just throw away an entire fish?
That's why you fillet and gut fish outside like every normal fisherman in history.
"I like to put my "knife" in and feel where the base of the spine is and twist-"
I should call her...
Very resilient, and delicious
Got a lot to learn. Eg putting the fish in a clean tank until its stomach is empty.
You can still use the head and other bones for broth if you want.
With a catfish like that, there's a lot of belly meat still
You nail it up, skin it harvest the meat, cook it, eat it
Not garbage, when you have everything without really trying to have that, so everything might be looking garbage for ya
Where'd they get this guy?!
Catfish belly is the best part of the fish. Not garbage 😢
We make sure that nothing is wasted and so except for the fins, gills and the insides everything goes into the pot for us.
When they get big enough such as blues or mud cats you can get cheek meat aswell as belly meat
You missed belly meat and head meat 😢
I caught five yesterday, i put them in my pond for a week before eating
You just completely missed the belly meat of that fish which is the best part. That is Insane!
He wasted 75% of the fish! SMH these youngsters I swear! SMH
Is it just me or have I been eating different kind of catfish, but I always like the belly part more, especially if they have eggs in it
Catfish has been a staple among poor people in America since the 1800's. Still can't believe you threw away half the meat. Especially the belly!!!
Catfish is invasive?
If that's a bluegill catfish, it would be invasive in that part of the country
It's Hardly invasive but they classified it as such because it competes with the other catfish
In my country they use to cook masak lemak tempoyak or masak lemak cili api...even the head can be eaten..
Also the rest makes great cat fish bait.😂
don't forget about the barbs that stick out on the sides of the mouth
you can push em backwards
how to clean a catfish like a yuppie
Missed the third fillet on his belly.
Soak your fillet in milk, it really helps make it taste amazing.
I grew up using 7 up for my fish. That's how my grandparents did it.
All catfish species in America are native species, not invasive. They are the waterways vacuum cleaners.
Catfish are native fish everywhere
Can't believe he throws it and says Garbage. You're not quite skilled to know that remaining potential of that "garbage"
What if he knows the potential, and doesn't wasn't it?
I have never cleaned a fish inside my house.
Id like to see sanji to make that leftovers delicious if he can
Japanese Sushi Tutorials:
No no no. The actual meet on the belly filet is quite literally the best on the fish
Bro the things you call garbage is waste you can still cook and do more to it 😢😢
I think you could do something like this with northern pike
Any one else vibing to the goat simulator music in the background.
I keep hearing this background song everywhere what’s the name of it?
That was not garbage there was still edible meat on the belly also you could make a soup
The catfish that I know and familiar with surely doesn't look like that
Always bury your fish parts if its more than 1 day to garbage day.
I tossed some catfish in the dumpster the day the garbage got picked up.
It was in there for 8 days.

Ok catfish r not invasive to most parts of the US and they r sometimes found in… waters…. But they r mostly chill
He forgot to throw out the other half of the fish
That's a meal for them raccoons in my back yard😂😂
BRUTAL!!!!!
Holymoly... Back in my country, a catfish is 3x smaller than that, and every corner in the city sell it as a a fast food😢😢
You’re missing the belly meat . It has a liner you trim and there is no guts on the meat and no bad taste. There is also head meat on bigger ones.
Where are they invasive besides certain sections of the east coast? They’re a sport fish here in Missouri
I now have a perfect excuse to eat catfish. Not that anything was really going to stop me anyways.
bro, look up Patin Tempoyak. Delicious af.
I see a lot of videos where they say the belly meat is the best part of the catfish
Dude that’s a waste
Bro basically throw away the most nutrient rich part
not garbage, we eat that here
