Last weekend I smoked some nice rainbow trout my kids and I had caught a few weeks ago (I vac-sealed and froze three for later). They were delicious, if I do say so myself!
I'd always cooked my fish whole (and then removed the bones before eating) rather than filleting them. But a couple of these 'bows were nice and big and I decided to try to filet them - I had never tried it before, but YouTube can teach you to do just about anything, right?
Well, my filleting attempt was not a very good one, but I have decided that it was my equipment that was to blame! So I'm now looking for a good filleting knife. I probably won't use it every week or even every month, but I'm the kind of person who likes to have the right tool for the right job (you should see my garage).
Anyone have a particular knife you like for fish? Bonus points if you actually use it for fish on a regular basis, but I welcome any experience or feedback!
Thanks,
Rich
