How do you fillet a trout?

How do you de-slime a trout?

I just scrape my knife back and forth across the fish. I take a lot of the scales off in the process. I believe this is especially important with mac’s due to their higher oil content.

I am suprised at how many people like catfish and perch more than trout; interesting to me.

tweezers work great for pulling out the bones left in the fillet (just my 2 cents).:face_with_tongue:

Here’s a link to a YouTube video on filleting fish… Not the way I fillet (tooooo slooooow)-

But you will see one way to do it and you may pick up a few pointers…PB

The attached files shows some fillets from a recent ice-fishing trip.
