How to Remove Pin Bones From Salmon in Less Than 2 Minutes

Chef Nicholas Gavin demonstrates how to locate and remove pin bones from a fillet of salmon without mangling the flesh. All you need is a pair of fish bone pliers, a chef’s knife, a damp towel, and a bowl of water. This technique works on other fish, too, including mackerel, snapper, blackfish, and sea bass. It’s as easy as a game of Operation. #salmon #debonesalmon #fishfillets #removingpinbones #kitchenskills

I have been using an slightly curved medical forceps for quite a few years. They grip the pin bone but doesn’t break it and are easy to clean/sanitize

That was great Chef Gavin. I've done that process a bunch, and always forget to work with chilled product. Great reminder.

Too much of an urbanite to worry about pin bones in fish these days, but as a kid, I disliked eating whole fish for this reason. The pin bones were a nuisance to eat around. Helpful video!

To keep the flesh cold and protect the fat when working with delicate proteins like salmon, work on granite or quartz that was previously chilled with ice packs.

A couple of years ago, I bought a granite cutting board and chill that in the fridge for a couple of hours when I need a cold surface to work on. It works great!

I ain't got time for that. Just cut a small amount of flesh and get rid of them with 2 quick cuts.
