Fileting Northerns

JLDII Posted 4/15/2004 9:52 AM (#16675) Subject: Fileting Northerns Member Posts: 714 I do not know how to properly filet a northern so as to remove most of the bones. Does anyone have a link on the web that shows how to filet a northern? sworrall Posted 4/15/2004 9:57 PM (#16702 - in reply to #16675) Subject: RE: Fileting Northerns Location: Rhinelander Hey sir, I am doing a video on this very subject tht will be posted here soon as I can pin troy down long enough over a couple Pike to get it done. The method I use leaves a one piece fillet, and is VERY easy to do. One piece fillet with no bones, yummy. jigman 2003 Posted 4/21/2004 7:26 AM (#16914 - in reply to #16675) Subject: RE: Fileting Northerns Member Posts: 12 Location: WI Is your method similar to the "unzipping" your fish process? I bought that video a number of years ago, and it was quite helpful. You end up with one butterflied filet. The Man!

One piece fillet, no bones. Yummy!
