Get a quality fillet knife, Shrade or Old timer or similar and use a stone to sharpen it not some quick double sided pull through jobby. Even an inexpensive fillet knife holds an edge better using a good sharpening stone.

Thanks guys. We had a time
fish 4 all, thanks for the advice. I was using the double sided sharpener thing and it did suck! Couldn't keep that knife sharp for nothing. What about electric? What do you recommend for that?

I can't fillet with and electric, always cut through the rib bones and make more work for myself not to mention the meat I mutilate. Don't like them at all. Can fillet smaller fish in about 30 seconds completely so I doubt I will use an electric anytime soon. Salmon only take me about 2 minutes to completely finish so I like my fillet knifes.

Yes I use an old Shrade fillet knife.I glued a stone on the side of an old torx screw driver and the handle keeps me from cutting off fingers while sharpening it.I tried an electric one,no good for me,maybe too old fashioned,lol.Gotta keep them sharp.
