How To Fillet a Fish


Firstly clean the fish by running water over it. This removes slime from the fish and will make it easier to clean. To remove the scales use a blunt knife or a fish descaler.

Make a vertical cut in the fish just behind the gills. Don't cut right through the rib cage.

Turn the knife 90 degrees and make a long cut down the length of the fish. Push the knife until it comes out at the other end.

Cut the fillet free from the rib cage.

Repeat these steps for the other side.
