Now that thats done I am going in the AM again!! So there will be another batch to clean!!

[phester]

L ooks like you make quick work outta those fish. A good fillet man I'm not,espically w/ the fluke and [or] flounder

[Mac_Attack]

MJ nice work there! I'm a Great Lakes person and not familiar with flounder, is there any meat on the under side and do you get two filets from a fish? Thanks Bill Mc ;D

[macojoe]

even though it is a much smaller piece of meat, there is meat on the bottom!!
I take the larger fish under side, and on the smaller fish I don't bother to much.
I have been almost killed by some older fisherman that no longer fish for chucking the bottoms!! They grab them and clean for themselfs!!

The under side is about the best bait for these fish you can ever get!! ;)

[bigshrimpin]

there is meat on the bottom!! (you mean bait on the bottom)


Fluke are delicious (raw). After I had fluke sushi (Hirame??) . . . I understand why fluke eat each other.

MJ-

Nice job! I like the stainless fish clean station. Is that non skid tape on the table? I spent two hours cleaning fish yesterday - hence my screen name. Steaked out/vaccuum bagged mako. Grill time today.

I Fillet the white side first! You cant throw that away!

[macojoe]

Yes thats stick tape ! It is great for keeping the fish on the table! That ss can get pretty slipery once you get going!!

[fillet1]

I dont fillet the whole single side like you do.

I split it down the middle. Dont the fillets end up breaking in the middle after you skin them anyway?
