It's really not that hard


Throw your POS electric knife in the trash


Get 1 Dexter serrated fillet knife and one regular fillet knife


Cut against the scales beginning from the anal and dorsal fins with serrated, fillet with regular


This is a must have fish cleaning knife

Yeah I start from the top of the tail and work toward the head along the spine with a serrated edge knife. Cut along the back bone till I hit the rig cage and stop. Then I just cut around the rib cage cutting each side off the fish and then filet the remaining skin off the meat leaving you smaller pieces, but no bones. My favorite way is in cheese cloth in crab boil doing the crab cake recipe using the sheephead instead.
