FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What type of knife is best for filleting fish?
A flexible, thin-bladed fillet knife with a length between 6-9 inches is ideal for filleting fish. The best fillet knives have narrow blades that can easily follow the bones and create clean cuts through the fish's flesh. For most fish, a 7.5-inch blade offers excellent versatility.
Is a straight or curved fillet knife better?
A curved blade is generally better for filleting fish because it allows for smoother, more controlled cuts when following the natural contours of the fish. The upward curve of the blade tip helps separate the meat from bones more efficiently, especially around fins and ribcages.
What is the most effective method for cutting fish?
Generally, start by scaling the fish. Then, make an initial cut behind the gills. Use your fillet knife to carefully separate the fillet from the backbone, working from head to tail. For skinning, hold the fillet firmly by the tail and use the knife to separate the skin from the flesh.
