A new twist on filleting a salmon

Check out how this guys fillets a salmon. Very efficiant and gets all the meat, plus a handy tip how to pull the bones.

thanks for sharing    just got to catch one to try it

Interesting use of a peeler.

That's expert use of a peeler.  Removing the belly leaves me wondering though.  What does he do with it?  Also forgot to take cheeks.

that is a great way to do it.

Nice work!  He makes it look so easy.

Yes, I love the belly.

Very cool, but I'd probably cut my finger off taking the 2nd fillet off that way  , love the pin bone tip though

Isn't that how everyone does it???? 
Thanks for sharing Jonesz.

Ive tried it this way a few times and the main reason i like it is because its super simple to get those rib bones out on the 2nd fillet. I did go back to the regular way of filleting though because it just feels like cutting butter with a hot knife

Thanks for the link Jonesz.  That video motivates me going out to catch a Salmon and give this technique a try 

Thanks for the link. The guy was very efficient. Now only if I can catch another one of this elusive fish I can try that technique.

That guy was a master...that looked like a stiff carving knife too not even a fillet knife...

its easy if your knife is razor sharp I just suck at fillet fish
