How to Cut Fish Fillets

Scale the fish. With this method you need not gut or de-head the fish. Simply lay the fish on its side, get your electric knife or very sharp filet knife and starting at the tail, cut close to the back bone and deep into the body. Turn the fish over and repeat on that side. You now have two perfect fillets. You can reserve and freeze the leftovers for the fish stock. Check under Chowders in this website for the Basic Fish Stock.

If a recipe calls for cooked, flaked fish, almost any cooking method will do. Poaching and microwaving are the simplest. Cooked leftover fish can be used in salads, chowders and soups, or appetizers. Be Creative! Check in this website to find more information.
