re: Any tips on filleting a Sheepshead?

There's probably some good Youtube videos.

2 ways I do it, the one I prefer is to us an electric filet knife to take the filets off. Then skin and debone with a filet knife. Electric knife works great on them.

If not electric, then the best way is to filet them by leaving the rib bones on the fish. I'm not the best at describing the technique, but basically you cut behind the gills then slice from the head to the tail down the back. With the meat open from the top, you slice the meat off the ribs. Then I remove the rest of the filet from the fish. Filets turn out looking very nice this way, its just not very fast for me.
