Thats a neat idea for the salmon steak. Nice way to leave it with no bones and minimal skin. -I often just slice the whole fish into steaks, leaving the backbone, much less work. Cook it with the skin still on too, peel it off before eating. Keeps in all the moisture and oils. --Now if I'm making salmon fillets. Just like you said. Leave the skin on. Tinfoil underneath and just toss it on the fire/bbq. Lemon, Dill, little bit of salt. Perfect. --If were going to be making jarred salmon, the salmon steaks go in bones and all. The bones will become very soft when jarred and super edible. My favorite part to eat is the vertebrae of the spine when eating jarred salmon over rice.

This is horribly wrong. If you ever try to fillet a fish, do not use this example. He missed a good chunk of meat near the head, and used the completely wrong knife. The knife should be thin and flexible, and the initial cut should be angled into the head of the fish do you don't miss that extra chunk. What made this even worse for me to watch was when he started filleting from the tail. I could go on for longer but please just don't use this way to fillet

I use a pretty similar technique with walleye. I-ll start behind that pectoral fun cut done to the spine and follow it down to the tail but instead of cutting the fillet off at the tail I just flip it over with my knife leaving it attached to the fish and then proceed with the same skinning technique used in this video except I-m holding on the the head and gills as I skin the fillet flip the fish over and repeat!

I have never seen a commercial processor of salmon use a method like this. If you're interested to see how hand filleted salmon is done by commercial fishmongers elsewhere, the only footage I've found is on shutterstock, named, 'Asian man slicing a fillet of salmon at table in a fish shop. ' ----As far as steaks go, I scale, butterfly, and pinbone, for a completely bone free experience.

Beautiful fish, wild salmon nothing like it, but I'm hard pressed to choose from sockeye and spring salmon. One fish that dosen't belong, with these is farmed salmon. The look and taste are unbelievable. Farmed salmon is tasteless, looks awful and is unhealthy. They spend their entire life swimming in their own poop, full of antibiotics and growth hormones. Eating that is like eating poison!

I saw the title to this and expected to see some giant with hands the size of dinner plates. But as I watched, it slowly dawned on me, the person filleting wasnt going to use an Alaskan fisherman to fillet the fish. So why didnt he say he was going to use a knife to fillet the fish. Instead of a fisherman.

I've only filet one salmon and I can be honest with you I destroyed that fish. I did a terrible job. When I was a little boy are used to go fishing for sunfish so I did a couple of those when I was a kid. But this is a new hobby that I want to get into so I appreciate your video.

If you buy farm raised salmon that is bright pink like this, it's probably color added. -Saw an interesting tip on a cooking show for pin bone removal. Place the filet over an upside down bowl and the arch makes pin bones stick out easier

Sorry I forgot to ask in my last post. I know this is a instructional video so you were taking your time so you can explain the process. But in real life how long would it actually take you the process one in real time?
