He hacked that fish no way you are serious

@@jt8713 You don't know what you are talking about. He did that perfectly.

Fishermen do way better jobs at filleting than he did watch a few videos

@@jt8713 ? The Best ones simply do as he does. Come off it lol. 😄

@@jt8713 Where exactly do you think he learnt it? Gordan has gone out with fishermen and filleted catches with them to master these skills. Hell he has an entire show dedicated to going out in the real world and doing things as the first contact does. You may not like it, but the man is legit skilled and the best at what he does hands down.

😂🫤

ffs lmao

LMAO 😂😂😂

BOOOOOOOOO!

An old but well placed gold 😂😂😂😂

I had the same feeling lol.

He does it better than you. Grow up

Ikr 😅😅😅

I think filleting a halibut takes a bit more skill than cracking an egg.

I wish I knew how to crack an egg.

German steel from my hometown Solingen 👍🏻

very good thank you

those knife cost like 10k each man

There's a scene in one of his shows where he's showing how bendy his knife is and it snaps.

Un what

I thought about the same thing. The old fishermen where i grew up would have to slow the video to half speed to show someone how to fillet a fish as slow as he did it.

@@williamrosenow6176 he did it slow because he was teaching

I saw fishermen on lake superior so some fish were gutted and threw on a pile while high dollar fish were filleted for wholesale. People do this to make a living, he has been taught to do this a few times a night. If he had o do this over and over 6 days a week he would not be worth 200 million. He was taught how but they don't get whole fish in his high end McDonalds. He copied their business model by the way.@@krejman

@Mr.Bones1983 Gordon

Oh ya. Maybe some kind of Mediterranean halibut but that thing wasn’t from the Pacific Northwest. That Cheetah’s spots were all kind of changed.

The question for me is the knife But what the hell do I know

@@nmoran2046 wouldn’t be my choice but did the trick in the end.

Agreed. The second side of the halibut (filets 3 and 4) somthing was off....not sure what but I rewatched it a couples times and it just seems prosthetic almost....

I even tried to search any other halibut filleting videos. And guess what ? The carcass is pretty much the same as Gordon did !

They were probably told to by the production crew how to react. That's why such fake reactions. If they were let to just be the way they are, I'm sure the reactions would have been genuine and much better!

What dya expect they are American

It's "reality" TV, of course it's fake

Was pretty painful

Typical US TV rubbish.

Yeah but maybe it's not as hard as it looks because half of the difficulty comes with the knife. Most people, even some chefs use crappy knifes or ones that haven't been sharpened properly, so they'd just tear the meat instead of slicing into it.... which is hard work, you'll make a mess and probably cut yourself in the process

Using a dull knife non-fillet knife makes it a lot harder as most other knife will cut through the bones. Fillet knife are sharp and flexible making them bend when hitting bone. Not as hard as people think. You basically pull while cutting.

@@la8ball have you prepped a fish like that?

Exactly correct I personally find it easy to fillet fish however I have done round and flat fish so many times. However it can be really easy to mess up. Masterchef is for Home cooks which is kinda gray area there are clear contestants that have had some formal training.

Also, Water is wet.

You are wrong.

Yeah no offence I’m taking the word of a Michelin star chef with decades of experience in preparing food over someone whose credentials are unsupported and unproven and not in the business of cooking.

@@TheAwesome45 Your comment is pointless. You don't know what his credentials are, so factually, you can't say one way or the other which one is more likely to be right. If you don't believe him, then so be it, but so what? I'm sure he doesn't need some random guy on the internet with "unsupported and unproven" credentials to believe him.

​@@anyaw340anyone can be anything on the internet. He's right coz we don't know what the commenter does, but we do know what the chef does... further more, what's easy for him doesn't mean it's easy for the rest of us

No, youre not. And no, theyre not.

😂😂😂

I'll trust a world renowned chef before I trust a random KZfaq comment about filleting a fish

I'm certain that's not how you did it, but then, you're not a master chef, so...

Different region and lands have different style of cooking the same ingredient. It's not THAT hard to believe what this guy is saying.

@@matthewseaux7391 Ever considered that it's just a DIFFERENT way of filleting fish and that Gordon's just isn't the only way?

Like really you must have never seen a single episode of “reality” cooking in your life if those reactions are surprising you

Lol. So cringy eh

well not everyone can filet a fish you know

Ah the hollow arrogance of the faceless rando commentator. A classic KZfaq dish. 🤓

he did not. fileting knives come in different sizes. slicing/carving knives are not flexible and also longer. what you are thinking of is probably a flexible boning knife with a different shape. you can use those for smaller fish but they are too short for things like this.

@@JPK1337 what knife brand do you think he used in that video? Henkel?

@@blaynemacpherson8519 yeah the logo on the side looks like that

Who skinned the fellets. That was magic. Lol

@@JPK1337 so if you go to Henkel knives none of them look like that. I do have a Henkel knife that looks like that and it’s a slicer. I’ve personally never seen a fillet knife that looks like that but hey I could be mistaken. Either way he did a good job filleting that fish. Fun fact halibut are born like any other fish then their eyes move to the side of their bodies and their skin changes color at the same time.

Best part of any fish :)

He didn’t keep watching he took them out.

Are you saying that the fish Gordon filleted was not Halibut? I don’t know much about flatfish but I am sure that the video hasn’t been flipped as the names on the aprons and background are not flipped.

Maybe he just called it that for the halibut….

I believe it has been. Masterchef sequences like this at the end station tend to be filmed from stage right, so Gordon would've been on the right. Unless for some reason he's filmed this on a back bench.

@@vunguyenchannel That is correct. That is not a halibut.

This isn't true, halibut aren't all right handed flatfish. I've caught both left handed and right handed halibut, in fact I have a picture of two halibut caught within an hour of each other within 500 feet of each other and one is left handed one is right handed. Halibut can grow either way when they are extremely young so I dont know what your on about

Cool. Video?

dream trip is going to alaska and catching a 400 pounder 🙏

Because it's bullshit television and they're instructed to act the best way they can.

He can buy thousands of them and he wouldn't lose sleep over it

1st 'cooking' video?

So you catch a record size but,, you don't get your fresh meal ?? Thats,,, not fun at all. 😂

@@netweed09 that's not record size, at least for halibuts. those motherfuckers can grow up to 3 meters.😃

@@PH1LZ Wow. Now I'm dreaming of catching one ,, 🎣🤔😋😎

That’s a baby…. They get hundreds of lb’s in Alaska

@@Call_MeDaddy hmm, learn something new everyday

Lol. Fillit
