For most people, unless you’re filleting a flat fish (flounder, sole, etc), you’re probably better off using a boning knife than a fillet knife. The flexibility of a fillet knife can be helpful, but it’s also more difficult to control properly. I’d also recommend going in from the back on step 2. With a little bit of practice, it’s quite easy to learn to feel your way around the ribcage, rather than slicing through it and having to remove those bones later on.
Maybe this only works on certain fish, but if you stop the first long cut just short of the tail you can flip the fillet over and it stays connected to the body, making it easier to hold while you cut the fillet away from the skin.
Can you post how to filet a dog next?
Out of curiosity what was the intent of this comment?
No judgement, I’m just fascinated by the fact there are so many different reasons someone might post a comment like this.
To point out how gruesome it is to tell someone how to property cut up someone’s murdered body in a “you should know” channel.
This isn’t a channel for serial killers.
No, but there’s a thousand ways to fillet a cat
There will still be a small row of bones to remove in the centre of the fillet on the head side.
This is is terrible advice. You need different methods to fillet different fish. This I would only do on small fish with soft bones like mackerel or bridge.
Curious, since I’ve never filleted a fish before; what would you do for bigger fish like salmon?
3-6 are the parts that require skill. 8 is only needed in some fish. Others have bones on the side that just go 1/3 of the way down and you can just cut that part out in a V formation.
I think it’s very cruel to do this. That’s why I buy my fish already filleted
You’re so close

Do you gut it, first? Or, do they stay put while you remove the meat?
It depends. If you want the fish to last longer while dead, you should gut and bleed the fish right away. Otherwise if they’re really fresh, you can just fillet around them.
Too compressed
I think I squeezed the fish too hard, what do I do?
Didn’t notice until you said anything. Getting too used to jpeg

Let’s just pretend that there’s only one type of fish 💀
