New way to clean fish

[ready2fish]

That Perch guy's WAYYYY to slow and the Crappie one is CLOSE to how I do it. I get the filets off and using the same electric filet knife, just corcel around the ribs. Did 20 the other day in just under 10 minutes.

From what i got out of the 2 videos was the perch guys method was a field dress way of doing it and of coarse the other way is what most of use do at home. I always look for other ways to do things and you never know it might come in handy when your out in the middle of no were land
with no kitchen

I think the guy was so slow at it is because he was teaching the other fellas.

The technique is called 'popping' (at least up here) and can be done much, much faster.

I agree. And if you leave the skin on i wonder if it will keep omega 3fattie acids in the fillet.

Been cleaning perch like that for 20+ years, first time I've ever seen someone do it on video but it does work. After cooking if you hold on one side you can just peel all the meat off and then the other.

They do clean fast once you've learned it.

An electric knife is the only way to go when filleting fish, but i don't change knives to remove the rib bones, i just continue to use the electric knife it's much faster.

When you do it like that one the ice. Have a bag of bredding and a hot greased pan ready.
Man, let me tell you. You sure make a bunch of friends in a hurry.

What a video, I hate cleaning Perch. I'll try that next time out. Great show.

Even after fileting the same way as the fella w/ electric knife, there is still one row of bones in the center of the filet, running from tail to the head direction. I slit the filet on each side of the dark meat about 1" up, at the tail. Then pull the two pieces away from each other, and the remaining row of bones seperate like a zipper. Repeat for the other half, and NOW it's truley boneless!
