Dear fishy friends! Today I’ve got a very practical video for you guys. Requested many times over the years: how to fillet a skipjack tuna. And who better to show you how to perfectly fillet a fish than my friend Hoessein himself?! Hoessein is part of the fishing community of Mandhoo, Maldives, with whom I work closely together. Every tuna they catch, they catch with pole & line. One by one, fish by fish. Very sustainable and without almost any by-catch. Here in Mandhoo they do not only eat the filet, but they use almost the whole fish. Something we should more do all over the globe. Proud to present to you: Hoessein filleting a skipjack tuna, live from a tropical beach in the Maldives! Watch & learn.

This is the first time I’ve seen someone hold the fish vertically when filleting. In a sense it does work because you’re taking advantage of gravity to help you fillet. Anything to reduce the amount of sawing back and forth helps, right?

I'd appreciate to see more filleting in your videos. Other than that, keep up the good work. Goed bezig!

I would appreciate much more commentary along with the great visuals...like to cut points, or where and in which direction the midline bones lie. In NZ most locals would only use this beautiful fish as bait!!

A quick Tip, use the belly flat as bait or discard it, Skipjack tuna that have been living inshore often feed on Zooplankton and as a result get a type of Kudoa parasite in the meat surrounding the stomach, they look like small white growths, nothing to worry about as they are easily seen and discarded and usually only in the belly portion of the fillets, but still something to be aware of 👍🏽.

Hi Bart, I'd really like to see a recipe with fish leftovers (such as the bones), my local fishmonger has a lot of 'm, but I'm not sure what to do with fatty fish bones, since they're supposedly less suited for making stock

@joegt123 4 жыл бұрын

Why would they be less suited? Fat in stock is flavor and healthy omega 3 fodder.

@@natbarron As a Filipino we have recipes for it. Turning it into a crackling of sort. We also cook it for awhile in a soup so that the skin becomes softer.

Ezekiel De La Croix sounds delicious- the spine bones and head could also be used in a fish stock
