I have to say that is pretty slick, l catch a lot of pike in Canada and have always struggled with getting the y bones out and butchering the fillet. I will definitely give your method a try it makes a lot more sense to handle a smaller piece of fish rather than a large piece, better control of the knife and less meat wasted. Thanks for sharing your method.
I like the way you don't waste the belly meat. I see so many guys slice along the white edges of the belly and throw it away instead of just making one cut down the middle of the belly.
A fillet. I never herd anyone call the fillets a fillit. Lol. Im gonna start saying that when im cleaning fish with my uncle. Nice job on the cleaning. Nice good size pieces for eating. Bite sizes. Are nice then ya dont got the whole fish falling apart on ya. Keep up he l)
Lol. And instead of pike we usually just call them “Jack fish” or Jack. And we call our walleye “pickeral”. I know that’s misleading! Today I have some Jack in the freezer that is getting a little old so I’m canning it. Just to top up a canning batch I’m needing to add a couple “fill-its” of walleye! We call the result canned “Jack-Eye”. 😂😂😂. Happy fishing!
