After several attempts using another method, yours has proven to be far superior. The salmon looked clean and tidy at the end and took me very little time to fillet. Many thanks Chef.

I am supposed to be studying organic chemistry, instead I am watching how to fillet a salmon. Procrastination is awesome.

I work in a salmon fish factory in the fillet department, what this guy did is like the best you could get. He knows what he is doing and can be a teacher in my factory or any other fish factory! This is the truth

Using the peeler to get the pin bones out is genius! I want to eat more fish for health reasons but always hated the bones that were left behind. Thank you!

I agree with the long stroke motion. Sawing is something I always discourage my students to do. Also the less you touch the flesh of the fish with your hands, the better it is. Thank you for watching and commenting. Cheers!

I just tried filleting and de-boning a Coho (silver salmon) I caught a few hours ago, from Puget Sound. Mine looked so sloppy, compared to yours. I will use your video as my training video. You retained so much meat.Thank you so much for sharing this!

Beautifully done, and a very clever idea to use a peeler to remove the last little bones! I'll have to try that myself.

This man is a real professional. Great, fast, efficient and without any fuss filleting a whole salmon, ready to be smoked or used as gravedlaks, or like he would do with any other kind of big fish. Great !!!

Great video I do it the same way. Except I add a step, I usually might cut my self then finish the job after I get back from the hospital:)

I was recently moved to the fish station at work and i used this video as my guide for Filleting Salmon. I'm the only one in the kitchen to use this technique and I can say I'm one of the fastest and least wasteful thanks to it. Thank you so much for this video.
