This video is not only a tutorial on how to fillet a fish, but also how to properly add background music to a video. It's not jarring and it doesn't overpower the speaker. Content creators, take note.
When I began eating meat and fish again since being a 5-year veggie, I promised myself to not be in ignorance as to the whole experience of eating meat; from farm to table. This summer, a challenge for me is to catch, fillet, and prepare a fish in a full circle of respect and gratitude for the nourishment this life will give me. I'm time-framing it to my two weeks at the cottage this fri. Will report back, and now I have no excuse that I don't know how to fillet a fish. Namasthe :)
Oi Mike, I did it, with a fresh caught red snapper! it was neat, and tasted so good BBQ'd in butter, salt and pepper, simple and yum :) Food tastes so good when from start to end you play as big a role as you can in the process, nah? Namaste
I ordered two of these based on the reviews. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxqmKabisEv81ul5v7OhvVxxOpt2CJruI- Received them on time and they look good. I really like the handle on these knives as they feel good in my hand. I'm giving them 4 stars on look and feel, but have not had the chance to put them to the test yet. I mostly fish for catfish and can hopefully try them out in the next few days. If they hold an edge throughout a limit of catfish, they'll be worth another star.Update...I used the 9" strong and the 9" fillet on a mess of catfish. I did put a sharpening on these before I started. I want a razor edge to fillet fish but they weren't quite that sharp. The people who gave these knives crappy reviews and said they were sending them back was because they weren't razor sharp. So what, do they not have a knife sharpener?? Good grief! I mean you have to sharpen any knife from time to time.I personally like them and am pleased with them. If you're too lazy to sharpen a knife then hire someone to clean your fish lol.I've never bought a knife in my life that would shave hair right out of the box. Don't be afraid to purchase the knives. They're pretty nice in my opinion.
Loved this video. Could not for the life of me deal with your accent. As an Australian I heard every every single time your accent slipped from US to Aus. Freaked me out.
Ear smear doesn't matter very good video good photography and very informative and I just happened to watch it when I came home with 4 Spanish mackerel from my boat perfect timing

I recently tried a recipe for whole branzino and it tastes so good, but the bones are an issue. Now I know how to get rid of them thanks to you. Appreciate it!
It doesn’t matter when you fillet a fish because there’s not much juice or anything. Actually, it doesn’t really matter unless you use the same knife for different foods. Then it matters.
19 Georgia girl. Moving to MO to do some fishing near my brother. My mother laid a fishing rod on my bed for my birthday because I love salmon and always enjoyed the idea of catching my own from start to finish. I was expecting it to be a bit more gore-intensive. I plan on catching all sorts of fish while I’m there and taking them to my brother for the holidays. Wish me luck :) I think I’m looking forward to filleting them more than I am catching them now
One tip for filleting the fish is, when you go over the backbone with the knife, move your knife downwards to get the meat on the other side This minimizes meat wastage
I would like to suggest using a moist towel to wipe off the knife periodically as you go about processing a fish. It will help in keeping debris from the cuts.
I have a question. With the bones and head do you make a stock of just that or do you freeze and save up until you have enough? Do you use the whole head to make the stock?
I was taught to fillet this way by my papaw and my dad, with one exception; don't cut all the way through at the tail. Flip the fillet behind the fish, then slide your blade between the skin and meat. You have skinless fillets, and all of the carcass is in one easy to toss piece.
Almost 70 year old woman here who couldn't bring herself to clean the fish she caught at the lake as a child. Fascinated by the ease of it all, I'm going to give this a go. The cats will enjoy the rest. 😂🦈🎣
thanks to you i did my first fillet on a store whole fish already gutted, now i just need to learn how to gun the fish! that part makes me nervous. 1. ill have to catch a live fish which i have done many times just catch release but this time will need to kill and keep. 2. never killed a fish before so guna feel bad but i want to learn the right way to do it. many theories claim fish know when they get cut but do not feel the pain like humans so that slightly helps if true.
you can cut out a nice piece out of the cheeks of the fish, its really tender meat. however, its a very small amount of flesh. you can also crush the bones and when they are a powder they could be added in a soup or something to add a lot of calcium. the flesh above and under the spine is full of bones but you can scrape of a lot of meat from those bones. the meat you got from that could be made into fish soup or sauce. you can also put the leftovers in soup and it will cook the flesh off the bones. then you can filter the bones out. maybe This helpt you a bit.
You just taught a man who has never fillet a fish in all his 62 years but I am going to give it a go asap. You made it look so easy. Thank you.
It’s not as easy as it looks hahaha
Hope you did good
How was it?
@@archiesinfield9333 have you tried it? i am starting to think its not for me before trying🤣
@ICE 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Went fishing today for the first time so I need this video!! Can’t get no fresher then this
mackerel will never be the same again after watchng this video🥹
this guy has 2 accents
Ya Boi It‘s Australian for sure
hahahaha
kind of feels like South African. probably wrong but my South African friends English sound like Australian Americans.
Kinda sounds Irish
Ruymand he’s not from SA, sounds half Irish half Aussie
Awesome Chef Mike! We just caught fish while we are camping and you make the filleting SO SIMPLE! Time to get to work filleting our fresh catch!
How did it go?
@@remio1377 I was there it went horribly
@@pumpkineater6975i was there, they filleted 20 fish as good as a sushi master!!!!
@@sonofagun5305I was there, they filleted the fish to a satisfactory level. An average taste.

You make it look easy, though I'm sure it's more challenging than I expect it to be. :)
Never seen someone fillet a fish without gutting it or removing the head. Very interesting technique
I thought the same thing but I think the gut it at the market. Or maybe they don't idk I don't buy fish like that.
@Jamie Saunders Oh good thing they killed it then.
this is how you fillet fish, how have you been doing it?
You only gut it if you eating it whole
So easily explained, going to fillet my fish right now! Thanks from South Africa.

Anyone else here because you're broke and plan on trying to catch fish from the local river to avoid paying the ridiculous cost of meat?
that’s my problem too and the big problem not that i’m broke no it’s the local river is without fish
Well, id need to pay for a license to do that...
If you live near the ocean get into spearfishing. It’s super fun and you get unlimited meat after the initial investment.
@@bryanlane7208 where do you live brother
I am going on a camping trip this weekend and can wait to try this out 😊
Thanks a lot, I'm actually just a kid but I managed to get a piece of a much larger salmon using a technique similar to this, awesome video!

is the fish ok?
Yes, hes alive and swimming in the ocean with his family.
UFOENGINE He dead.
No. No he's not.
Yes the fish want some spa and have a surgery
Yea. We miss him. But thank lord, he didnt feel any pain going through all this.
Super clear and informative. Thank you so much for this tutorial.
make sure to clean your knife in every cut, that's what Gordon Ramsay taught me LOL

not only have i learnt how to fillet a fish, but i have also discovered a beautiful song (your intro). thank you very much chef!
Excellent tutorial! Easy to follow and very satisfying filleting your own fish. I have subscribed to your channel. Thank you.
Is that dwarf fortres music in the background lol
Fantastic I had no idea but now am 🔥🔥🔥
That was intensely pleasant to watch. I'm going to buy a fish!
Nice, thanks for this been putting this off for the last 40 years
You saved me!) I adore such a simple but effective approach. Will try it now
You are explaining so clear all of the other you tubers were too fast lol 😂
Thank you! Now to try it on a whole pacific rockfish soon.
I really do like that knife. Would you mind sharing what model is that? Thanks a lot!
It appears to be a Wusthof utility knife.
closest thing I could find was a Zwilling Diplome Fillet Knife
It's a Zwilling J.A. Henckels...not the best but it is a good knife
@@hcnevils I'm currently looking at knives. I'm pretty close to getting a set of classic wusthof knife
Love the video. And as a Canadian now living in New Zealand, his accent is buzzy... like both accents together
Superb.I did fillet first time in my life.Enjoyed. Sure I will do it myself .It wasn't hard as I thought all the years 😂.It's easy.
I would like to suggest using a moist towel to wipe off the knife periodically as you go about processing a fish. It will help in keeping debris from the cuts.
thank you so much....first time trying and i did a decent job. You were right, once i sharpened the knife it did most of the work
I have a question. With the bones and head do you make a stock of just that or do you freeze and save up until you have enough? Do you use the whole head to make the stock?
Now I feel like going fishing. And yes, sharp knife makes kitchen work safer, easier and more fun, but your knife is really, really sharp.
Thank you. Can you suggest the knife or knives that could be used.
This method worked best for me. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Hugh Jackman!
Thank you very simple instructions
I really enjoyed watching and definitely learnt a thing or 2
Give me your thoughts guys. See you soon.
+Chef Mike Ward Usualy I tend to get a lot more blood when filleting. Is there any way to prevent this?
+Chef Mike Ward What is the brand of the knife that you're using?
+DA Max looks like a zwilling henckel
very useful I will try it
Okay, that's discusting how you give your kids the fish head to play with. That's really unsanitary
"cut behind his year?" LOL you mean fin
Nick Sanderson It's not an ear? ;)
Chef Mike Ward no, it's not.
Humour seems to be lost on some people.
@@naterhys haha yes
Lived what you did. What model n size the knife you used? Can you show how to remove the skin? Batter for frying? Tasty

Thank youu!! I really need this because my school need us students to video ourselves cutting a fish with different technique but choose one🤧
Fish looking very fresh sir
Which brand knife you used on video
Please tell Me
This guy knows what's up
Lovely......way of explaining....u made it so easy..india
Which specific knife are you using to do the filleting? The brand looks like Zwilling but which model of knife is it?
Dude has a mixture accents of Australian, American, and Amercian-Southern. Wild!
He could be South African, the accent sounds like American-Australian
Amazing fillet skills.
That knife cuts like butter
Very helpful &professional sir......
“Whip off the tail”

One word "Art"
Is there anything you can do with the leftovers, like making sauce foundation or soup from it? Or is that rather ill advised?
you can cut out a nice piece out of the cheeks of the fish, its really tender meat. however, its a very small amount of flesh. you can also crush the bones and when they are a powder they could be added in a soup or something to add a lot of calcium. the flesh above and under the spine is full of bones but you can scrape of a lot of meat from those bones. the meat you got from that could be made into fish soup or sauce. you can also put the leftovers in soup and it will cook the flesh off the bones. then you can filter the bones out. maybe This helpt you a bit.
Fish Stock, keep in fridge till needed
Cool! You made it look easy. Now, please also recommend some good sharp knives. Thanks.
OK this is impossible without a proper knife. And I thought mine were sharp. Any recommendations for a good knife?
amazing videos thank you
Beautiful!!!
😍😍😍
Will this work with any size fish.
I can't tell if your accent is from Ireland, Texas, Australia or Beverly Hills.
Wonderful ! You make it look quite easy!
