Ok Tubedude, you have raised a few questions....
I converted to "filleting" my fish several years ago instead
of "gutting" them. I had the worse teacher anyone could ever have; myself.
However, mine turn OK and I am usually happy with the results. I do not use an electric knife but, I am convinced to now get one.
Here is my question:
Have you ever tried to cut from the top of the back down, without cutting the ribcage. In other words, I make one cut directly from the head to the tail, down until I hit the backbone. Then I cut from the sides of the ribcage, avoiding the bones ribcage.
This is done as step 2, after I remove the head. I am going to try your method (cutting perpendicular) through
the ribcage/bones.
Like I said, I was self taught.... I am sure I am slower than most..
