@bozzskaggs112 3 жыл бұрын

@@ChefsResources Speed is important for commercial enterprises. Too bad so many bubbas fail on the yield because they think speed equals bragging rights. If you're cleaning a mess of crappie maximum yield is important with those little fish and all critters deserve the respect of not wasting anything. I wonder if there are any business models that shows a reasonably rate of return to turn the skins to leather and the carcasses into canned stock.

Her skill was amazing. Definatly the best video I've seen so far. I've been filleting a bunch of chinook recently and wanted to see if there were any techniques I could use to improve my meat retention. I am in awe of her skill and will be using the tail first method on my next fillet.

What about removing the pin bones? The pin bones are what give me trouble. They break off, and tear out large pieces of flesh. I would think that removing the skin before the pin bones would only make bone removal harder.

@uvid4us 3 жыл бұрын

David, do you have people who sharpen all knives for your filleters or do each of them sharpen their own knives? What would have been used here to sharpen this breaking knife? I'm talking about sharpening when purchased, not just steeling to maintain the edge. I have this knife and they are no where near that sharp when purchased new!

@ChefsResources 3 жыл бұрын

I'm pretty sure that they have a professional knife sharpener do all their knives. This would be a service which comes to their company and sharpens all the knives. For home use, you can find a local knife sharpener and bring the knife to them. Or, purchase a Tri-stone or whet stones to sharpen the knife yourself. Here's a vid on how to sharpen it yourself. Whet stones are used here, but the same process applies to a Tri-stone.

@ChefsResources 8 жыл бұрын

I believe that Pacific Seafood has a private company sharpen all their knives. But, you can get the same degree of sharpness w/ either a Tri-stone (common in restaurants) or a set of whet stones. Here's a link to a whet stone demo: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y5mjqKaHlrvVfZc.html

In your opinion does the type or style of knife matter. I like knives, and I used them for many different purpose in my restaurant where I am Chef.

@ChefsResources 7 жыл бұрын

To accurately answer that question I'd have to be skilled at filleting fish w/ a variety of knives, but I find that I always use the same knife. For me, a chefs knife works best because that's what I'm accustomed to using. But many fishmongers use the breaking knife used in the video. On Salmon I prefer my chefs knife, but on halibut I prefer a flexible boning knife. I've tried a scimitar & breaking knife on salmon but the curved edge throws me off, especially when removing the skin. But that proves my point...a straight or curved blade depends upon the skill and experience of the hand using it for any given purpose. I believe that there is a "best knife" for each purpose, but also that generally speaking a variety of knives can accomplish similar tasks.
