Tips on filleting yellowtail
 
I have a pretty decent fillet knife , but the issue I am having is not removing the 2 sides of fish or skinning . The thing that gives me a little trouble , is removing the bloodline without wasting too much prime fillet . I quarter up the fish after removing the the two main fillets . Any pointers or suggestions . Thanks .

From the master himself. If you ever go to Day at the Docks in San Diego he makes the best fish tacos.

When you go to split the fillet in half along the blood and bone line set your knife a bit of an angle. So instead of cutting straight down on either side of the bones you'll be cutting slightly back in to the fillet. This removes a triangular section and takes out a bit more red meat with out much waste. Mike

I have seen that video before , but brushing up on it certainly helped. Made short work on these three that fell victim in yesterday's bite .

I usually just cut horizontally starting at the middle bones and cut down and out.


Here.made a video for ya. Probably not the best angle but it's really simple.
