How to Fillet Flathead - Filleting & Skinning 

Great tribute to your old man! Memories & skills for life

nice job mate thats awesome! love learning new methods ! ya'all, Dont be scared to learn how to make a fish stock bloody simple , so you can utilized the frame 😁 basic stock - a few frames is better(roast frames if you want a darker stock) -clear stock= onion, celery, carrot, bay leaves, pepper corns, cloves ,salt and water(lt's depends on how many frames ya have) for a basic stock .. gentle boil for an hour strain through fine strainer. reduce stock for another hour on simmer.. use that stock in a seafood pasta/soup/ whatever! .. you can then adjust that stock to whatever flavors you want to - thai, chinese, italian, indian whatever..

Loved it, very impressed by your method. Methodical, with great care you do justice to this nice fish. And the leftovers are not wasted either.

Very easy to follow and understand. I also like how non pretentious and down to earth these videos are, great job 👍🏻

"Respect the fish" - wish I heard that more often on fishing videos

What a great video. Thank you very much for a step by step guide on how to fillet this beautiful fish. I will definitely be do this in the future

Thank you souch did my first flatty tonight looks great cheers tight lines

I had never caught a flatty before 18 months ago. But after living on wallis lake near Forster for last 15 months I have caught more flatties than I ever thought possible. Most go back but I eat a few each week and always use this method you do in the video. but I have a sashimi knife set which has awesome bone tweezers, makes pulling put bones very fast, almost surgical. Great video

That’s how I’m gonna do em from now on great vid mate

Great video mate, love the no wastage 👍

GREAT educational video. One of our boniest fish is the Northern Pike in Alaska US. I have never seen that hand skinning technique...but will definitely be giving that a try! I will be in NSW in a few week. I know you make it look easier than it probably is, but I feel MUCH more prepared for cleaning anything I keep for dinner. Thank You!

Gee just need a fishing trip to practice this indeed, old Grandad has learned something new , thanks mate

They Cook better because they are more even in thickness !! Great Video Thanks again !!

My new way to process flatty, thx mate!

This is a much better method than what I use. I'll be trying it the next time I catch a flattie.

Great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Brilliant video mate.

great way to learn a way to fillet flatties will take a bit of practice👍

Gret tip about the rib cage. I just wasted most of a 52cm flatty following another video

Thanks wish I watched your video before I watched the one I did. I went in to keen and messed up 2 good fish😅

Keep the frames, don't throw away, use in the berley bucket. My dad used the backbones for bait.

Awesome 👌

Never thought to pre-cut the rib bones. That should make filleting easier next time. I wear a glove on my left hand when filleting so I don't cut myself.

Sorry but I think it's sacrilege taking the skin off. Crispy skin on a flathead is just the best. Flatty wings crisp up beaut also

Get on with it man! Too much jibba jibba!

You sure do say "basically" a lot for what's not exactly a "basic" process 😂

Awesome
