Pat,
This is exactly the process that I go through when it comes to filleting fish, with pretty much the same equipment as you. Thanks for sharing these steps. I was able to snag my electric knives (120v and 12v) at K-mart at a clearance price ($10/ea), I just need to buy some replacement knives when my current set gets dull. Since I've been banned from filleting fish in the kitchen sink, I fashioned a filleting board made of polycarbonate (easier to wash), about 30" long and 12" wide, with an oval hole at one end to drop the carcass through. This board sits on two buckets, with one bucket lined with a garbage bag to catch the carcass. I've been doing my filleting sessions in the garage lately since my outside water has been turned off. I usually fillet my catch in the backyard since I have access to water, and one of my dogs likes sushi once in a while. I don't think I need to move to a different zipcode since I haven't had any BFT'ers drop their catch off for a filleting favor.
Thanks again for sharing this info.
