kokanee filleting / how to fillet a kokanee by kokaneekid 

I started saving the spines with a little meat on them and some of the other parts I trim off in a zip lock. I'm going to try boiling them with vegetables to make a soup stock for a salmon soup.

Great tutorial! Thank you for making it, you're a great teacher. I live in New Mexico and we have the Kokanee Salmon snagging season coming up Next month, my first time. I'll be sure to use your filet technique! Thanks again!

Thank you so much. I know how to filet a trout now, nice technique!

thanks, great technique. Will use this weekend.

Thanks for the tips! About the same method as doing a King or Chinook by the looks of things. Well done!

thx great tips i will try

So kokanee dont have pin bones like a trout?

excellent!

nice, thx for the details

Beautiful job, but I sure find it easier to butterfly a small fish then bake it and the bone just lifts right off with zero meat left behind!

great vid!

Thanks for the great video! What's the purpose of scaling the fish, do you eat the skin?

So does the fillet have any bones after you're done with it?

Nice work

so, are there still pin bones in the fish?

I would of thrown that baby Kokanee back and let it grow up. That seemed like it was a very long process compared to most fish I and others have filleted.

what the hell is the point of taking the head off and gutting it if you are filleting it.
