Getting the most out of your fish — Part One: Filleting tips with the pros

An elite WA fish filleter has teamed up with Recfishwest to produce three how to fillet videos to help you to get meatier fillets off your fish and better use out of what’s left over.

Cutting down on waste and getting more out of your fish is both good for your dinner plate and for making the most of our valuable fish resources.

Konway Challis, a professional filleter and co-founder of filleting website Fillet Fish Australia, joined Recfishwest to share his knowledge and skills for our members, supporters and followers through three cool videos.

In this opening video, see Konway in action showing how to best fillet a red emperor minimising the amount of flesh on the fish’s frame.

Konway also shows how to remove the fish’s wings — a tasty part of the fish which is often left on the frame — and also the fish’s head in the second video, which can then be used to make flavoursome fish stock, or recycled for cray or crab bait.
