    When filleting, could you use the same technique shown for the freshwater fish, where you avoid the ribcage completely?

    Why on earth are you cutting off the tastiest meat on the fish, the belly fat. Sorry guy, but you waste a lot of edible fish for the sake of expediency.

    • @saturn8375
      @saturn8375 10 років тому +4

      If there is any mercury in the fish, most of it will be in the belly fat, that's why eating it is not reccommended

    • @mrbluenun
      @mrbluenun 10 років тому

      Forrest Trim Possibly there may be mercury, though in the UK it is highly unlikely, so all that you cut off I would cook to end up with less shrivelled steaks and that can then be removed afterwards.
      I have to say that I would never catch fish where there is any kind of factory upstream, what we call out trout streams have no industry discharging anything into these streams.

      mrbluenun removal of the belly meat wont take care of the murcury content, but it will greatly reduce the other contaminants present in the fish's environment that are in the fish.

    agreed. also after they are knocked out some larger fish you may want to bleed. like i bleed my catfish by cutting the tail off. or some fish you can slice the gills. itll make the meat taste cleaner and less of a mess when your cleaning them

      Not just this video, but I think it is an assumption the fish is large enough that it doesn’t matter, and wherever American catch fish I find them utterly wasteful with often times some pretty odd ‘Old Wives Tales’ which for the most part, and assuming the local infrastructure of whatever Companies may get rid of poisons, left to do so with again an assumption this land is ours and its big so the likelihood of any poisons is hardly worth a care. Mmm, I wonder this chaps Tale about the poison accumulating in this or that place, must be founded in some truth, so make the answer is NOT to watch ANY fish below a certain point in the river or tributaries.
      Not exactly the perfect way to go about things, but if a company cannot do what the do with enough care NOT to flush and nasty shit into the river system, maybe its the local Councils problem for not or maybe even never enforcing these types of safety laws and health and other health and safety stuff. We in England or anywhere if found dumping poison would be jumped on from a great height so it doesn’t happen in areas where any of it has a chance of ending up in some of the food chain.
      Remember it is not just liquid metal which is dangerous, there is and should be laws with detailed instructions about any possible ‘run-off’ from animal slurry.
      I have seen cases in the Stares where the Dollar was seen as infinitely more important that what was said to be the efficient running go cows as in beef raising. Those people went to prison, but not before damaging a couple of huge rivers and thousands of tributaries. Its been done before and was not thought anything at all important, so the studies of what happened and how long it took to get most if not all the water ways to good health, so fish and everything one would expect to bread in rivers and lakes to feed the fish in their own sanctuary, it was a long time maybe 20 years before it would be clean. However this time, and with the local council STUNG by just about everyone for not enforcing laws to prevent this, they did the arse licking and rope jumping and those obviously guilty were hit very hard. Most of my family are American and it was a letter and then emails which got me interested in this type go health and safety matter.
      It is still the case that there is restrictions of imported food "Because we can’t say how the animals were brought up and or slaughtered." Fair enough. But it is no good putting laws in place for foreign produce and fish and any other food item, if it is done with the total ignorance of what if happening on your own door step!

    When I fillet I don't slop the fillet back on a shitty, scummy, board just to lift the skin off. And I don't need to wash when done at all!, water helps start the decomposition of flesh when you introduce more moisture to the meat and may not be properly dried or reduced before storage. The same thing apply to venison.

    I always gut the fish regardless of what kind of cut I am doing. Just something my dad got me doing with whatever I catch. The guts get thrown back into the water and the carcass I will section up and put in a plastic bag or tupperware container (I do this for salt water fishing btw). I'll keep that under refrigeration until I am going to go out again. I take it out and leave it in the sun for a day or two to stink up (in the container, of course) and then it makes for wonderful chum in salt water fishing.

    you don't take the bone out of the steak fillets. Only when you fillet the fish from head to tail do you take out backbone and ribcage.
