re: Whats your fish fileting techniques? specifically specks

For white perch I scale first then fillet. I know, I know but when I fillet them it's for me and I find the skin adds a lot of flavor.

I don't fillet for time-saving purposes, I do so for quality. I also only fillet what I think my girls will eat (3 or 4 fish fries)so I give most of what I catch away.

I fillet the small ones and give the big ones away.
