also a little tip for those who are learning
its very easy when learning to mess up the second fillet so simply take the head and collar off before filleting it, makes the fish lay flat when you do the second side.
Easy to do when you gut the fish too, intead of cutting the gills out you can just pull the head down until the backbone snaps then the guts come out with the head, once you have the hang of things its not needed but when learning its a handy thing to do (can do this with all fish too, except maybe Garfish
