    Leave the head on, cut all fins with scissors. Pull out guts through a tummy slit. Cut diagnal cuts a finger apart down both sides of meat. Mix a lot of dry spices(paprika, salt, pepper, garlic, onion, time, dill, rosemary, etc all powdered) with oil and spread over both sides of fish including the head. Fill belly will lemon and onion. Set oven to 380F and cook 10min/side but add oil mix to flesh during bakeing when it dries...enjoy!

    Watching you butcher that fishing! I am from south Florida by way of the Bahamas but I have lived in Texas for a long time. I didnt know about filleting fish until i was nearly an adult. We always cooked the fish whole and with the head on when they were that small, actually even bigger than that. There is a lot of meat in the head that you cut off. We even roast them on the grille whole in the Bahamas.

    Filleting fish is for rich people.. poor people like me eat the whole fish.. might sounds disgusting but the head is where the good taste comes from.im a Pacific islander that live in the US now and I miss eating fish every day. I love your videos

    Where I come from we do it differently and we typically keep the head but it depends on what you are making. Snapper is awesome grilled, baked, panfried but I also had it in sushi many times and it's one of my favorites.

    • @francesb2295
      @francesb2295 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was taught leave the head on, trim all fins, cut out the lungs, and THEN take off the scales.
      Never saw a head cut to gut the fish. Cool hack?
      Red snapper my favorite. Miss living in St. Augustine!
      I'm going to try the "remove head, gut fish" manuever. Very cool!

    I have a suggestion bro. After you scale it, make a small slice 1/8 inch down both sides of the fins. Then use a pair of pliers starting from the back and pull. The fins and bones will all come out leaving a much easier to eat whole fish. I plan on making a video soon showing how. Good stuff!

    Spoon or just a cheap metal fish scaler work best. To remove fins simply cut along either side and pull off with pliers. Much easier

    2:05 Before you remove the Scales, it's better to remove the Guts and the Sharp Fins first.
    You can remove the Guts wihout removing the head as it can be a messy task for most people.
