- Join me in this video as I learn how to clean and fillet a burbot.
The most popular method to cleaning a burbot is to remove the skin first. This species of fish is unique and has a different rib bone structure than most fish. The rib bones turn outwards and then up which makes removing the loin a delicate process to remove as much meat as possible from the fish.

Here is a link to the catfish skinning pliers I talk about in the video. I look forward to trying them in the future on my next burbot.

You had the right idea rolling the pliers. I usually do an incision the length of the dorsal fin as well. They are so delicious. How's the ice out your way? Thinking of making a trip to the usual lakes, but not sure if it's worth it.
I've seen someone else do an incision on the dorsal fin as well. I might have to try that. I've also seen a few different ways that I plan to try. It worked, but I'll be refining my process and making another video once I learn a few more things.
The ice this way was 6 to 8 inches in places and 4 to 6 inches of water ontop of the ice with slush. Definitely less than ideal conditions and it's supposed to be really warm this week.
@@FougereFamilyAdventures thanks. That's what I was afraid of
You should check out Hunt Fish Manitoba's burbot video for a couple of tips to make the skinning a lot easier
Yes, I like the way he does it and will be trying that when I get a chance to get out there. I'm excited to try my new skinning pliers as well.
Might not be fast
But we'll done
For a left hander!!
Speed and perfection will come with time. It was also a tough angle because Sarah was trying to film a I was trying to stay out of the way of the camera. Tight spaces sometimes in a fish cleaning station.
Don't you eat the cheek meat?
Haven't tried. I did not know you could get some out of there. Will check next time I keep one.
