12:05 great job G. Thank you 🙏

[@ynconway6261]

I appreciate your pace and thorough instructions. Don’t give up!
(Just a thought, I would be interested to see series of videos, 1)how to fillet a fish, 2)how to cook it, 3&4)couple options for sauce, 5&6)couple options for side dishes. Each with their own video, but at the end of each little series, a complete meal! Just an idea.)

[@KhalilOmar]

Thats an awesome idea. Will definitely keep in mind!

[@RL33]

Thanks so much for this!

[@KhalilOmar]

More to come 😁

I know this video is 6 months old, but I seriously want to thank you for putting it together which such clear and detailed instructions. I’ve tried cleaning fish I’ve caught many times using a more American style filleting technique (using a filet knife, and avoiding the rib cage), and I could never get the filets to come off cleanly, and always felt like I wasted a lot of meat. This method with a chef’s knife seems so much less wasteful, and should make it easy to deal with the bones. I’m definitely gonna give this a shot the next time I have a whole fish!

[@KhalilOmar]

I totally understand your plight. I'm glad you found the video helpful. Please do use the technique next time you have a whole fish and report back to let me know how it goes! Would love to know. Cheers 😁
