I filet the bigger fish and sometimes smaller around 10" I will scale them and cook whole.
How many still use a spoon and how many filet? I do both depending on the number of fish. I scrape if I don't want to drag out the filet knife.

I fillet everything I keep.once I finally learned how to properly fillet,I find myself keeping smaller fish,and still get good returns in fillet size.
I scrape smaller fish then filet them with a hand knife like in eagle1's pic. Bigger fish all get fileted with an electric knife.

Filleted with an elec knife about 98% of the time ... the other 2% is for my own personal consumption, and that's usually if I'm going to cook them shortly after cleaning them, as I think the skin gives a sweet/nutty taste to the fish.

I fillet pretty much everything we eat ....and on the gills I mostly spoon off the scales first ....

I scale everything and hand filet...IMHO most of the flavor comes from the skin holding fat and juices in.
My grandmother taught me to filet and over the years I became pretty quick....now that I'm getting older I've been working with my son.
