Curious to hear more people's opinions on the sawzall.

Do you just cut right thru the rib cage when filleting reds?

It took a couple of tries but a normal limit of 10 reds for us and done in minutes with cleaning. I DO not have the hang of the freshwater blade yet. The key is to not pull the trigger wide open but instead about 50%.

There’s nothing wrong with using an electric knife I like to use one on sheepshead specifically. But generally speaking no one that works in the seafood industry commercially uses them, it’s all very sharp filet knives. You just have to learn the best way to cut some specific fish and have the right sharp knife. Guys that clean fish daily for a living can clean most fish in under 30 seconds.

I really like the dexter russels. Not a fan of serrated at all for fish, same thing above serrated generally helps when you don’t know the best cuts to make. I’m by no means a pro so they help me sometimes but generally when it’s because I don’t know exactly what I’m doing.
