Your skills are top notch and that is easy for anyone to see. That puts you in the 1 percent range of fishmonger professionals. What really sets you apart from even your 1 percent peers is your ability to explain every step you make in a way that is not only helpful and educational but is extremely enjoyable and entertaining. You know the biology of fish and pass that knowledge on. An example I can give is from watching another fishmonger clean a fish. He didn’t know the name of the pin bones and just said something like, “you have to cut through some bones here.” I had never watched a fishmonger at work before I happened across one of your videos by chance and was immediately impressed with your presentation. I have since watched many of your videos and when I watched some other fishmonger’s TH-cam content, they were fairly good at cleaning the catch but just don’t have your ability to make the watching so enjoyable. I was raised in the Louisiana swamps fishing and hunting literally from an infant. My Daddy taught me how to clean and process our fish and game and I became pretty good at it. You though are on a whole other level. My Precious Wife of forty one years is on hospice care and will soon be going Home to Jesus. Recently, I too have become very ill and have had several hospital stays in the last month. Looks like we will be leaving together. Being in a good deal of pain, your videos have given me several hours of relaxation and peace these past few weeks. Thank you for that blessing young man and may our Precious Lord Jesus guide you and keep you and your loved ones safe in His loving care. 🙏✝️
I'm drolling again😅😂
My friend, this is one of the kindest messages I’ve ever received. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts with me. I have no words to express how incredibly sorry I am to hear about your wife. There’s nothing in this world harder than losing your lifelong spouse. You both will be in my prayers. As long as you have Him, you are already blessed beyond belief. -Reed
I always respect and love you "good people". Our Prophet Jesus and our Prophet Muhammad were assigned to give us the message of ALLAH (GOD) "GOD" created all creatures and evaluated their lives on this heavenly Earth as a test. The soul is immortal and wants to reunite with its creator. MAY ALL GOOD PEOPLE ALWAYS LIVE WITH THE PEACE OF THEIR SOUL IN HEAVEN, THE REWARD OF GOD. Those who do evil should first be punished for the evil they have done in this world, so that they are a lesson and example for us. For example, if (HITLER, etc.) the soul has not been punished for its evil in this world's life (they cannot know this), their torment will definitely be harder and more painful. There is punishment in evil. Those who do not fear GOD'S HELL and commit crimes against humanity: Murders who kill people, thieves, shameless people, those who damage the environment they live in, "BIOM", those who kill animals unnecessarily, those who destroy plants, those who willingly harm water, air and soil, etc. HE WILL BE PUNISHED IN HELL.
I wish you healing and peace. GOD bless. RİP your wife.
Sizlere "İyi insanlara" hep saygı ve sevgi duyarım. Hazreti İsa Efendimiz ve Hazreti Muhammed Efendimiz ALLAH'ın mesajını bizlere vermekle görevlendirildiler. ALLAH (TANRI) "GOD" bütün yaratılanları var etmiş ve onların bu cennet gibi Dünya'daki yaşamlarını (hayatlarını) sınav olarak değerlendirmiştir. Ruh ölümsüz ve yaratanına kavuşmak ister. Bütün İYİ İNSANLAR ALLAH'ın mükafatı olan CENNETTE RUH HUZURU İLE DAİMA YAŞASIN. Kötülük edenler, öncelikle bu dünyada yaptıkları kötülüklerin cezasını çeksinler, Ki onlar bizler içinde ders ve ibrettir. Mesela (HİTLER vb.) eğer ki dünya hayatında ruh kötülüğünün cezasını çekmemişse (bilemiyor bunu) mutlaka onların azabı daha zor ve acı olacaktır. Kötülükler içinde ceza vardır. ALLAH CEHENNENİMDEN korkmayanlar ve insanlığa karşı suç işleyenler: İnsan öldüren caniler, hırsızlar, arsızlar, yaşadığı çevreye "BİOMA" zarar verenler, hayvanları gereksiz yere öldürenler, bitkileri yok edenler, suya havaya ve toprağa isteyerek zarar verenler vb. CEHENNEMDE CEZALANDIRILACAKTIR.
Sizler şifa ve huzur dilerim.
This guy teaches so easily and well. Thank you.
Thank you for the feedback! 🙏
One of my favorites to catch and eat. I'll be using this video as a guide when cleaning my next sheepshead for sure.
Thank you Reed for teaching all of us how to filet all kinds of fish! Appreciate you!
I love sheepshead fish. It has a very unique flavor...try it.
Once Again Max Kudos!
Your content and narration is over the top. You are setting the bar for all others. Kudos! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍
Your fillet technique is really good. Thanks for posting. I don't really like the dark line of nerves and dark muscle tissue under the skin, so for fish that have a lot of it, and aren't seen as good table fare (like Jack Crevalle), I just fillet the meat off the bones and skin, make a shallow angled cut along each side of the lateral line (on the outside) and peel the upper and lower loins of the fillets off, leaving a lot of the dark tissue, and usually all of the pin bones, on a line that comes right off. Once that's done, it's pretty easy to fillet most of the remaining dark tissue off the meat. This works really well for blue fish (so they don't have to be relegated to just fish dip), and Spanish mackerel, too.
Doesn't anyone eat whole fish anymore?
Never seen someone do a whole sheep. Wonder why
i do🎉
Err time😊
I do
I only buy whole fish bro it’s all about pompano and southern gulf seafood is some of the best in the west
Sheepshead are my favorite fish to catch and eat. I like cooking them on the halfshell but they also make excellent raw dishes like ceviche, carpaccio, or even sashimi. They're a decent substitute for crabs in crab cakes as well.
Reed you helped me more than you know thanks boss
I really like your tutorials they are great!!!
It doesn’t seem any more difficult than filleting bluegill. Much easier actually because of the size.
I was down in Venice Louisiana, they took us out for them/ I’m from South Jersey and Dam those guys were Monsters down there. Absolutely delicious meat. Wish I seen your video earlier! Thanks so much. Love all your videos. I’m blown away how fresh all the different fish are. Guess you got a great fisherman, Thanks again
I’d love to go fishing in that area sometime! Yes sir, we have a great group of commercial men dropping off catch daily 🤙 Thank you for watching!
I love being from South Louisiana the deer hunting is good and also the fishing, shrimping,crabing , froging, crawfish I do it all down here I'll never leave the south
You make it look so easy. Excellent yield, thanx for the demo, great channel.
Thank you for the feedback!
GREAT JOB SIR!!! I really enjoy watching your channel
Take it to the dentist 🦷 for a cleaning
man that filet was awesome, extremely clean cuts
I watch these videos, get pumped up, then make a mess of the fish I try to fillet.
Lots of restaurants serve sheepshead as grouper .
I’ve honestly never filleted a fish. I always grill or bake them whole. Part of the fun is picking all the meat, especially around the head. Growing up in a Korean household with a Filipina stepmother, you get use to eating a lot of whole fish and even unabashedly eating the eyeballs and tongues around the dinner table. If I’m lucky enough to be in the Atlanta area, I’ll get some large snapper or grouper heads at the Asian market and just bake them or make soup. One person’s trash is another person’s treasure. 🤷🏻♀️
Sheepshead (fresh water) version in the Great Lakes are pretty good. Low yield of meat on the bones, but very tasty. Steamed with garlic butter and oil is real good!
Why does it have human teeth?
Because it eats crabs and other crustaceans
They eat crustaceans, that is why their meat is sweet tasting.
Because it's been eating dead bodies at sea.
It likes bah bah barbecues 😂😂
It’s got donkey teeth
Excellent method for this fish!
Some of the best eating fish you can get. Best way to cook is fried with some seasoned corn meal.
Some of the best tasting fish in the sea.
Hey Reed, for the huge majority of Americans who don't live close to the oceans, how about doing a show or two on freshwater fish? I used to fish with a guy who loved to catch northern pike but always threw them back because he thought, "They're too boney!" Twaddle. I showed him how to fillet out a pike and remove the Y bones and he was flabbergasted. It was too easy but I'll bet there a bunch of folks who don't know how. And that's a shame because pike are delicious.
Then there's shad. Supposedly delicious but so boney the Indigenous called the 'inside out porcupines'. We have a bunch of them here in Oregon (like 3 MILLION) and they're fun to catch but eating them is a challenge.
41% yield sounds like my elementary report card.
Fantastic trade.
Excellent video ‼️
Good job showing the fileting. And I have always figured about half weight for filets. And alot has to with the density of the type of fish. But great channel.
USed to live in south Texas )Brownsville) an used the fish the Jedi on the Boca Chica beach (space x is there now) and caught all sorts of sheep head. Good eaten fish.
Amazing skill bro!! Cudos and thanks for all you do!!!
When grilling on the half shell I like to do flesh side down first to get some nice grill marks then I flip and finish.
So exactly like filleting a blue gill. I will remember that the next time I am on the coast.
That 40% yield went down to about 28%
Good stuff, Reed!
Thank you Jon!
Dang that's pretty good! Great job! Aswell as a great fish!! They are one of my favorite on the halfshell,as well as hard fighters. GreT fish! Nice work!
Ese pescado en españa lo llamamos sargo real !! Ahi queda el dato......
Thanks fish wizard
They are one of the few somewhat tropical reef fish here in the gulf of mexico , really interesting meat, its hard to describe as compaired to like a red or flounder.
They’re excellent! Flounder with flakes and a sweeter flavor is a decent analogy 🤙
You are the man!!!!!
Thanks for
My mother went into the fish mongers shop and said I would like a sheep’s hied (she’s Scottish ) and the fish monger said how would you like it cut and she replied as near the asshole as possible and could I have the head and could you leave in the eyes so it will see my cat through the week end 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 great video you certainly know your way round I sheep’s heid
That thumbnail... "I'm a Dorkfish!" 🤣
Grill them in Greek fashion, plenty of recipes how on YT.Delicious to the nth degree.Whole btw.
Great Video.
Yessss, cook on the 1/2 shell!!!
石鯛のような真鯛のような魚ですね。そして、歯がすごいw 日本にはいない魚なのかな。
見事な裁きです！
Fantastic!!! Thanks.
Thank you for watching brotha!
Slick knifeman.
Excellent 💪.
Thanks!
Very good video
Thank you brotha!
even tho they dont got alot of meat, that small amount of meat is concentrated with shellfish flavor. i love the ones that taste like sweet shrimp!
Different strokes for different folks.
Fantastic vid & guide. Easily earned a sub. =)
This is just how to filet any fish. Thought I would've learned something new here.
Many people try to cut into the scales instead of inside out, glad you already knew better 🤙
Thank you so much !!!
Thank you for watching! 🙏
But you forget that the carcass can be boiled to remove the flesh from the bones and then drain off stock in seive, retaining stock. Then, to remove the bones and meat. Then spread on cooking sheet thinly to allow to cool . Then remove the bones from the cooked flesh, then take your favorite crab or mackerel, or Gar patty recipe and make fish patties. Your yield likely goes to 50 % or more.
Dats called authority at profession
🙏
Sheepshead have come back a little bit in NJ/NY, although I haven't caught or eaten one. Do they taste like tog? They have the same kind of teeth and skin. Come to think about it, I haven't caught or eaten a tog for a long time.
In case anyone doesn't know, Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn got its name from the fish because they were once so abundant there.
In the Gulf they eat a lot of crab, conch/snail, shrimp and local clams. So they taste a bit sweeter than other fish as a result. There teeth are flat to crush through shells, so not sure what they can eat in NY/NJ. Probably blue crab, mussels, oysters and clams.
The skin is heavy too. Wish you had skinned the filet also for the skin off yield. Really liked your yield video.
You are not eating the skin or scales so your yield is defiantly not 41 percent. Weigh the boneless skinless and let's see the yield..
I think these are called Piriso back here in the Philippines. They never really get to grow to that size here as they are caught off immediately from piers and breakwaters. Are they any good?
Just like you would fillet a crappie or a sunfish, except this has pin bones.
black strips made it looks like rock bream of japan and korean sea.. but definately flesh colour different! maybe rock bream has higher fat content that the sheephead!
Why are we including the skin in the filet weight? Great video. Learned to go under the scales to help;p keep my knife sharp.
Nice work nice info and nice fish
Thank you for the feedback!
Thank you for the feedback! 🙏
I love catching those bait stealers!
Basically the same technique as another notoriously tough skinned fish, the trigger.
There’s no sliding your knife under scales on triggers. 🤙
I had assumed the difficulty was from laughing at those teeth. Sheepshead is so good though.
Another great video! Is there any meat on sheephead throats/wings?
Cook direct or indirect?
Exactly how I filet my California sheepshead
I use my bass 'O matik With one push and I'm eating.
GOOD CAMERA WORK. Camera must be a Sony
Any tutorials to shave off any remaining blood on the filet?
Damn, California sheepshead looks way different besides the gnarly teeth
Im excited!!!!!! Someone still uses gloves to be sanitary to fillet my food.
Do one on catfish
I would think about 30% to be a good yield.
Reed; I have been meaning to ask....What would you consider to be the hardest fish to process?
I can never do the part of separating the pin bones from the ribs, never works for me and I have to end up hacking through.
Would this work for freshwater drum as well?
Absolutely! Ribs are tougher on those though 🤙
What kind of knife is that?
👍👍
looks to be a Dexter Russell. Not sure which model though
@@afout07That's what it is.
1.6 is what I guessed
Just curious. Why not scale the fish first?
Wasted step if you’re removing the skin anyway and if you’re grilling the scales help the meat slide off the skin easily. If I’m eating the skin, I’ll scale it 🤙
Wow thanks for teaching me how to do something i was told to do at a very young age 😂 but for the rookies good vid
Sent fish back to the lobby😮💨
Looks like Kamila Harris.🤣
I guessed 1,7 lbs. pretty darn close.
You did a neat job but I woulda had the whole thing finished by the time you got the first fillet
How I fillet for a tutorial is not the speed I clean at when I’m not teaching 😂
@@reedthefishmonger but sheepshead have a groove between their scaled area and dorsal fin..very easy to fillet
I wasn't trying to be a mean person...I have more trouble with flounder..
And I think flounder are as good or better than any fish as table fare
Slick! ^5
2 1/2 pound yield to guess
Bleed the fish?
My prediction was 40%
Nailed it!!
Who's their dentist?
Can you fry the whole fiah?
👍
🙏
They need to change the name of this fish to: the Dental fish.
delicious
meat to bone ratio...no one ever talks about that
Sheepshead Tacos are my fav
