How to fillet round fish

• 1.) Lay the fish flat on the chopping board. Use a knife which has at least a 7- inches flexible blade and is sharp. Cut behind the fins and gills to give access to the backbone.
• 2.) Cut along the backbone of the fish around the rib cage. Lift the fillet off the bones as you are cutting.
• 3.) Continue to cut, lifting the fillet off the bones.
• 4.) Place the fillet on the chopping board. Run your

  fingers along the flesh to locate any pin bones and remove them using tweezers. Repeat the process on the other side of the fish.
