Fished with a guide two weeks ago that showed me this method. I am 64 years old and have been cleaning fish for decades going back to using a scaler, pliers, gutting and then having bony fish to cook. Learned to filet, then discovered the electric knife and now this revelation! Can't wait to get some more wallies in the livewell so I can give this a go.

I commented that during a filleting demo you need to remove the rib bones too. Then I copied the link here and went back and posted it on the top line, than cam back for a final refresher!

Being in southern New England, I’ve never had occasion to catch walleye. Could this same zippering of the pin bones be effective with trout? I know how mushy trout can be and my first thought is no. Spring isn’t far off and there are a few days I can run to the pond for a bit but far and few in between. I’ll give it a shot when the opportunity arises. Great video. Thx Steve, Plymouth, MA

@ColinEFlora-zh3py

I've never understood people intentionally removing the whole filet before removing the skin. Skip the poke through step (or do it but don't cut through the skin at the end of the tail), finish what you're doing around the ribs, then turn toward the tail and cut back until you have the meat free and skin still attached to the fish. Flip the filet back and use the fish to hold the skin in place as you take the meat right out. Of course, some times the skin will separate from the fish anyway, leaving you to do exactly what you're doing here. But that is the exception and not the rule. And, usually, you'll be kicking yourself for some mistake you made to put it in that position anyway.

Zipper is the only way. Least amount of waste, never a bone leftover. I would just suggest you bleed your fish before bringing it off the water. That is some gorgeous translucent meat on that walleye and at 1:58, all I can see is blood. I bled my first fish 10 years ago, never went back.
