3 Ways to Fillet a Large Trout

When it comes to filleting trout, the method you use really depends on how you plan to cook the fish. I fillet trout differently based on whether I am going to fry them, bake them, smoke them, or grill them. I outline each method in this video and give you a bunch of tips along the way!

So I had to watch this again just so I knew what to do. I have never tried filleting a trout before and the first couple didn’t turn out well but after that I did a lot better and then by the eighth fish I could probably do it really well again. So thanks again for showing me how to fillet a trout.

Wow that’s amazing how you did that. Because trout is the main fish we catch and we have been trying to smoke them this is going to help us immensely. And seeing how I have used my filet knife so much there isn’t much left to it I’m going to get one of those.

Enjoy all of tiur tutorials! Question about the largemouth bass. Do you only eat them in the winter and not summer? Also, have you ever had smallmouth bass and if so, what are your thoughts?

@calebwistad Жыл бұрын

Thanks! No, I’ll eat bass any time of year. I don’t eat a lot of smallies because we don’t have an overly high population of them like we do the largemouth. I have eaten them at times though and they are virtually identical to largies on the table.

Good fileting. Why is the flesh of the trout yellow? The trouts in our area have white flesh.

@calebwistad Жыл бұрын

Lake trout can have many different colors of flesh. Sometimes they are a dark orange, sometimes a yellow, and even nearly white. Most trout that have white flesh are stocked fish that have not been eating a natural diet for long. Wild trout typically have very yellow to dark orange flesh.

What's the point of keeping the guts while filleting?? Always remove the guts before doing any kind of filleting. This way you keep things clean and avoid any unecessary contamination on the flesh while filleting. Another tip, use tweezers to remove bones. It is much faster to do and also your filets will not miss any flesh like the method you used.

@calebwistad 3 ай бұрын

I have a few more videos out there that do show how to remove the guts first. It’s just an extra step that some folks just won’t do though. As far as removing the pin bones, I also have another video that shows how to remove them with tweezers just as you described. Again, more time consuming but a better product in the long run.

Why is it so yellow

@calebwistad 3 ай бұрын

That’s fatty Lake Superior lake trout. Sometimes they will be more orange but often real yellow.

Also part of the reason he's so slow is he's using way to ridid of a filet knife. No flex. The handle is way top cumbersome and thick. Blade also should be way more flexible. Total joke to use an electric filet knife on trout. Makes no sense at all unless your normal filet knife is dull. Anyway, just my opinion..

@calebwistad 9 ай бұрын

I happen to believe that many anglers use knives that are too flexible. The more flex you add, the less control you have. You need some, but there is a point where you can have too much.

Unsure why you’d remove the skin before frying. If you fry the filleTT skin down first, you’ll have lovely crispy skin and the meat will stay together. Also….when speaking English the word is pronounced FilleTT, you pronounce the ‘T’. Repeatedly saying ‘fillay’ is incorrect. You aren’t speaking French here. Other then that; interesting video. Many thanks.

@calebwistad 2 ай бұрын

Yes. I also have some videos on how to cook fish with the skin on. Up here in the Midwest I have never heard a single person call it a “fillet” it’s always “filet”. Must be from all the French voyageurs who settled here or something…. 😆

It comes from the French word bozo. It's a cut of meat. His pronunciation is correct.

@mileswoodard4278 9 ай бұрын

Very slow, Lol! Very inefficient it's actually way easier to start from the other side. Not trying to be mean and I understand he's doing a demonstration but he took 3 times longer than any experienced fisherman used to fileting trout would. Also no reason to remove pin bones on trout of that size. They basically cook out. Total waste of meat. I've fileted thousands of trout. Just my opinion..

@calebwistad 9 ай бұрын

It does take about 3-4 times longer to fillet a fish while you are doing a tutorial and explaining each aspect of the process. If you want to see someone fillet a fish quickly, there are probably plenty of those videos out there.
