How to fillet a flat fish

• 1.) Lay the flat fish on the chopping board. Cut around the head with the point of the knife until you reach the lateral line.
• 2.) Cut down the central lateral line until the knife reaches the rib bones. Then cut along the lateral line as far as the tail.
• 3.) Bending the flexible blade, sweep the knife smoothly against the bones to remove the flesh. Cutting motion will leave flesh on the bone and affect the presentation of the fillet.
• 4.) Cut the fillet away from the fins and place it on a tray. Turn the fish round and remove the other fillet in the same manner.
• 5.) Trim up the fillet to remove the fins.
