With most fish i totally agree and it stops the stomach bacteria turning the fish but with mackerel its better and easier as a whole fish. This is not my advice but the advice of alot of charter skippers and commercials. Im not sure if it makes alot of difference if you freeze them straight away gutted or with guts in
@@gsp . Mackerel and other fine boned fish I use your method, for a big fish I'd get the needle nosed pliers out of my knife box and pull them out one at a time for a tidier fillet and better yield . I've worked with a lot of chefs who couldn't do as tidy a job as you did Greg. It's rare in a professional kitchen to see anything like this being done these days, a sign of the times .
@@leerogers6423 thanks alot mate👍 alot of practice🤦♂️ and i defo agree on bigger fish. Take time and get out the bones 1 by 1 and save as much meat as possible
That video is to follow🤦♂️😂 It is a good knife and i think ebay shop gonefishingwiththebear_0 has them in stock if not message aram on his channel th-cam.com/channels/TUvuXx-T_6Rr1Yvli9rjzA.html and hes the stockist. Very good price too👍
@@gsp Because I get them from asda ? Or the other ? Either way I now know how to fillet one if I ever fish English waters .I defo would eat anything out of NW waters 🤮🤣
Never cut toward yourself Glen. My mate Robbo sliced through his artery and damn near died on the steam back in from Newhaven one day wrecking. We had to tourniquet his arm with a speargun rubber. We always carried them for shooting big conger in the head before we dragged them aboard.
One tip I’d give everyone is try and do the least movements possible with your knife when doing the actual filtering. Ideally one long slice, to get the cleanest fillet! But nice knife skills chef ;)
Useful video, thanks. I have been told that it's better to gut the fish immediately after dispatch in order to preserve a better flavour.

Do this method leave behind boneless fillet?
Yes it does👍
interesting never. saw anybody filet without removing the guts first but it looks easy!
Very easy indeed and very quick!
I think its easier if your right handed!😀 cacky-handed people make everything seem difficult😱
Left handed people have greater intellect 😂😁
