Hard to explain in text, but go behind the rib cage at an angle, with the end of the blade pointing up toward the head. After that, you can do it like a red. Not bad at all. I used to make it much more difficult like yourself.


ETA: I basically just cut around the rib cage. I MAY lose a little meat doing it, but it's fast and leaves nice filets.

Pretty much this. I just cut the back out. But I like to use a boning knife.

Save the carcass and use it to make stock. You'll have to pick bones out if u want to salvage any meat or u can wrap it in cheesecloth. Escapes me why people don't make stock with their catch. Huge upgrade in taste.
