I wanted to add …if you catch them from muddy rivers like I do …a deep sea fisherman gave me a amazing tip ….he told me before cooking the fillets soak them in vinegar for 2-4 hrs before cooking ….it will take out 99% of that mud taste so you will be left with a nice fish fillet …it will also be like you put vinegar on the fish so if you like vinegar and chips that’s a bonus! A lot of people knock hard head catfish here saying it’s crap fish …it’s actually not bad if you prepare it properly beforehand…tasty fish :p (more for me hahahaha the Mary river here is absolutely packed with them )
buttermilk too
These fish are so easy to catch so knowing how to fillet them is pretty useful.
Yeah they got zero fight
@@Seth-jd5xn Yeah sometimes they don't even pull the line that much
Really, I had a 4oz weight surf fishing, reeling in to check bait, and one was on, had no idea 😂
Awesome videos, awesome knives. I've actually had a Dexter fillet knife for quite a while. Didn't know you guys had a channel! I was looking up how to clean one of these hard heads and picked this video. I was using my Dexter already and immediately recognized your knife! Only then did I realize why 🤣
Nice knife skills.. I still cut out the reddish bloodline in a "V" shape. Especially if you're not cooking it that day.
Hi Dexter i need to learn I always catch some
Soak the fish overnight in buttermilk, one egg and beer of your choice. Wait until you see the meat the next day.
What does the meet look like after soaking?
@@angelapinckney soaked meat
The whole fish?
@@god1246 no.
I heard of that hell yeah
Dam thing should have never been brought in the boat.
That's interesting everyone I've talked to says you're not supposed to eat those hardheads😳
But that looks like a normal catfish to me
I ordered these Dexter knives two separate times based solely on Landshark. I ordered an assortment of 6-7 knives to try out the lineup.
Both times the Dexter knives were very poorly ground with rough grind marks and rough, poor edges. The sheath/guard was also very poorly made. And I mean poor as in, the grinding wheel continued to grind past the edge and into the part of the blade that attaches to the handle.
The knives are not cheap either.
It's a shame that an American company like Dexter produces such mediocre blades.
Ive never heard of hardheat catfish. So its a saltwater catfish that can be caught in brackish and fresh water?
If you skin the fish before flaying you save a lot of time. This is true with all catfish. You can even peel the skin off in strips on the larger ones! 👍
Love your videos man! I'm a big proponent of Ikejime dispatching but can't find any resources on how to do it with cats. Probably because their heads are hard and might slip and barb yourself... I've been wanting to take one of the bigger ones I land from the Tampa channel home and cook up but I'd like to kill it on the boat. Most species require the fish to be in whole condition but Cats are part of the unregulated species and I cant seem to find if that means they must be whole too or if I can cut the tail off on the boat? Is there any reason you don't cut the fins off before processing? Is there an possible toxin leak issue? If you or anyone else can assist I'd be much appreciative!

Thank you.
Super video - thanks!
Very glad yall sponsor Mr. Victor as I’m a regular viewer of Landshark. Hope the partnership works out long term. I know yall advertise in other ways and sponsor others too but he’s probably the one I watch the most. I just recently broke in my Dexter 9” that I got as a gift as a newer angler and while it did great on my bigger ones and worked well enough for the smaller ones, I also realized I need to acquire a 6” or 7” for the little sandie trouts that I like to keep for fish tacos and miniature filets. Thank yall for a long track record of quality products keep it up!
Dude you just blew my mind, I normally throw those away, was told shit fish to eat... Looks good
They taste like shit
SMH same here bro. Just threw bk several 2days ago 😅😅
I eat them all the time. Stupid easy to catch a mess of them and easy to clean. All catfish taste the same to me dont notice a difference from any freshwater cats.
Excellent job. It looks like you've been doing that a long time. Thanks for sharing.
Why TF would anybody want to filet a hard head???
That’s not a hard head..... saltwater CF taste like a juicy chicken
@@joeymj1211 It is a hardhead.. people eat them.. I'm from Florida. We eat sail cats normally. But these hardhead are fine..
I went fishing yesterday with my brother caught about 6 of them they taste ok.
I have one on a grill right now
These look a lot like channel cats. I’d be interested to try them sometime
Does the catfish have to be alive to bleed it? Will it still bleed it out if I kill it first? I prefer being as humane as possible.
Yeah but hard to kill a catfish. They have hard bones. Gotta put a nail o it's head
@@thatcrazywolf lol
Cut the fins off
I have researched this so much for saltwater cats and can't find any resource that says cut the fins off but that's my initial instinct to avoid getting barbed. Do you know if there is a reason people don't do it? Do the toxins run out or something or is it perfectly fine to cute the dorsal and pecs off ?
@@papazig911 You dont have to but to play it safe cut the fin off before any accidental stabbing especially if your not a pro
@@papazig911 because they dont know. Just knock a wood on the barb, when sharp part is in the wood, twist the wood to break it. The venom is in slime, the barb is just making a deep wound that has small backward spike to worsen the wound.
Thoight it was dexter world. Lol wrong video
Hey Vik, is there a big taste difference in salt water catfish compared to fresh water catfish?
Saltwater catfish taste like chicken
Hard head tastes like shit so yeah it’s different
eat sail cats not hardheads
@@terryfonz4603 😂
I eat them all the time here i. Florida. Hard heads, sail cats, and them big freah water cats. To me they all taste the same.
Got stinged yeaterday
Thay have a big hard head too
You should have way more followers
This is for real?
H
Super job.
Word to the wise you cannot eat that fish there meat ars like rubber
Lol 😂 wth you talking about
Lies
Either you've never tried them or you cooked it wrong, they're fantastic! I usually keep these guys when I catch big ones and people always ask why and say you can't eat them. If they only knew lol
@@monkeywithawrench27 how do you cook them? i live on the water and theyre plentiful here so if you told me id have a virtually endless supply of food lol
