Awesome!! And now I know how to clean Perch, THANKS Tree stand Man!!🥰

Anytime! 🎣

this method does work well and I use it often. A pair of gloves does help tremendously with holding the fish and pulling the fins though. Even one glove on one hand just for handling and pulling the fins helps and using the ungloved hand to separate the skin. The gloved hand really helps.

Wow really cool, never seen it done this way. I'll be going for some perch, crappie and smallmouth tomorrow. If I get any nice ones or jumbo perch like that one I'll try this. I usually get some nice ones at this Reservoir.

Caught my first 4 Perch yesterday and i was so mad about those scales 😂 Smoked them now because of that, but thats a really good way to get the fillet

Very nice.

Well done. After you cut those ribs with the scissors, is there any bones left in the actual filets that need to be concerned of? or does cutting those ribs remove them all?

@treestandmanoutdoors

29 күн бұрын

The only bones left are the spine and the thick part of the ribs. There are no tiny bones left by the time this process is completed, and the meat falls off the bones easily once cooked. Cheers!

Thanks my boyfriend caught a bunch of small ones and he use a fork to scale. It got all the scales in my backyard on the ground. I asked him to remove the skin and he said he likes to fry it with the skin on. I don’t think I wanna try it

That was smooth

We use an electric filet knife and a skinzit. Fast and bone free. Your method is pretty cool. No right or wrong way. Whatever you like.

Let me know how it goes! It falls off the bones and very little meat is wasted. Thanks for watching!

Would you consider doing a cooking/eating video with those fish? I assume you do not eat those bones, and, I personally refuse to pick through cooked fish to remove them, so I fillet all of mine. I'd like to see how you handle them after they come out of the fryer please? i can always learn something new! Thanks in advance!!

@treestandmanoutdoors

Жыл бұрын

I may consider doing that. The meat falls right off the bones when cooked. Trimming the ribs leaves thicker bones so it’s just the spine and ribs when picked clean.

This is a very good way of cleaning perch so you get the maximum of meat off of it after you cook it all you have to do is just pull the rib out kind of looks like a centipede.

Can I ask if the fish was chilled before starting to clean it?

When you cut the rib bones with the scissors are you leaving some rib bones behind? It sounded like you're cutting through bones. Is this a boneless fillet you're making

It doesn’t make it boneless, but it takes out a lot of the fine bones in the lower portions of the ribs. Easy to pick the meat off the bones once cooked.

This seems like a sure way to get spiked or pierced or sliced in your fingers. Not a way I would be going about preparing fillets. Great looking sized perch tho

Might be quick but lots of bones left. Also if you think that first one was big you've never caught an adult ;)
