Hi All-
I don't know if this has been posted before - I just came across it.
filleting-fish.com - Filleting-fish.com
There are movies on there showing how to fillet just about any fish you want. If only he showed how he gets his knife so sharp!

The translations are good for a laugh as well - the one for turbot had me rolling on the floor!

Nice 1 SS I think i'll find this very useful. Take a look in the tools section for sharpening knifes.
 
There are several filleting videos on youtube. I watched one on filleting a bass & it was short, simple, quick and to the point - excellent. This ones quite good too:

Sorry man, I was sitting here with my bud and we hadn't slept much for awhile... Everything seems funnier when you're about to nod off...

HA! I have a 9 month old that seems to run for days with no sleep so I know right where you're coming from there - sometimes I just laugh hysterically for no reason at allroflroflroflrofl
 
I remember watching the deckhands on the half-day boats filleting customer's catch and they were good but I've never seen anyone take an entire fillet of a fish that large in what is essentially a single stroke. Impressive!

I assume Mahi are ribbed like other fish and he was taking the ribs with the fillet to be removed later?

There is probably a "rib man" just to the right of him. His job is to de-rib, skin and thouroughly wash/rinse the fillets. :)

When my eldest son is around he's my "rib man"...But lately I've been doing 'em all myself. The de-ribbing is usually made a second operation when filleting alot of fish or else scales and fish slime end up on your fillets.
