This is a combination of methods that I have seen over the years. It is a variation of the “Costa Style” “How to clean a perch in 10 seconds” with some slight variations that I picked up from my In-Laws. This is one of the cleanest and easiest methods I’ve used. Comment below and let me know how you clean perch. If you have any videos fee free to share the link. I would love to see how others like to do it.

Caught my first 4 Perch yesterday and i was so mad about those scales 😂 Smoked them now because of that, but thats a really good way to get the fillet

@bigtater29 2 года назад

That's a pretty cool way of doin a fish. I've never seen it like that. But I like my boneless fillets.

My son caught one and I had to clean my first fish , thanks to your great video instructions It was super easy . Thank you

@WillZingzong 6 месяцев назад

He filleted it in such a weird way though

@timhauxwell7531 5 месяцев назад

We use an electric filet knife and a skinzit. Fast and bone free. Your method is pretty cool. No right or wrong way. Whatever you like.

Instead of grabbing the dorsal fin with your fingers, grab it between your thumb and the blade of your knife and pull. Zips right out.

@treestandmanoutdoors 4 месяца назад

Good tip, thanks!

@rubbnsmokebbq4061 2 года назад

this method does work well and I use it often. A pair of gloves does help tremendously with holding the fish and pulling the fins though. Even one glove on one hand just for handling and pulling the fins helps and using the ungloved hand to separate the skin. The gloved hand really helps.

@treestandmanoutdoors 2 года назад

Great advice! I’ll give it a try next time.

Let me know how it goes! It falls off the bones and very little meat is wasted. Thanks for watching!

Wow really cool, never seen it done this way. I'll be going for some perch, crappie and smallmouth tomorrow. If I get any nice ones or jumbo perch like that one I'll try this. I usually get some nice ones at this Reservoir.

@treestandmanoutdoors 2 года назад

@henrymostert2125 2 года назад

This is a very good way of cleaning perch so you get the maximum of meat off of it after you cook it all you have to do is just pull the rib out kind of looks like a centipede.

@FaithisKey792 Год назад

Thank you so much. I think you just saved me a lot of time here. I hope my finger are up to the task. Have a great day.

@liberty5069 Месяц назад

Some disposable latex gloves might save your fingers.

@edheinlein3747 Год назад

Would you consider doing a cooking/eating video with those fish? I assume you do not eat those bones, and, I personally refuse to pick through cooked fish to remove them, so I fillet all of mine. I'd like to see how you handle them after they come out of the fryer please? i can always learn something new! Thanks in advance!!

@treestandmanoutdoors Год назад

I may consider doing that. The meat falls right off the bones when cooked. Trimming the ribs leaves thicker bones so it’s just the spine and ribs when picked clean.

That's my plan for those pike for sure. I usually hook a few perch first anyway, before the monster pike.

@arsenbalun8855 3 месяца назад

When you cut the rib bones with the scissors are you leaving some rib bones behind? It sounded like you're cutting through bones. Is this a boneless fillet you're making

@treestandmanoutdoors 3 месяца назад

It doesn’t make it boneless, but it takes out a lot of the fine bones in the lower portions of the ribs. Easy to pick the meat off the bones once cooked.

20 seconds per is not unheard of, in fact the way I do mine might meet those standards, no, I don’t have a video to upload. I think the OP’s method is fine, just not what I’m used to, I prefer skinless fillets, definitely don’t get as much meat as his method, but to each his own.
