What a GREAT man to remind us of the importance of retaining what liberties we have left! Five years for having a knife is insane. Here in So. Cal., mackerel are considered junk fish. BUT to me, they are VERY enjoyable to catch. What a fight they put up! I take my catch to a Mexican guy who works at my favorite hamburger hut. I think he makes ceviche with them. You should have seen his excitement when I presented three rather large ones to him last week! Maybe knowing how to remove the bones after seeing your video will enable me to enjoy them from now on. I'll give them a try. ATB! --Scott

I dunno the price in Californa, but here in Europe, from the adriatic sea, Croatia, it's always about 10 bucks a kg, (something like 2 pounds I think), quite expensive for the standard if you ask me, you americans are quite lucky...I mean you buy 2 kilos for 2 persons, when you fillet it, it's quite less naturally and in the evening you get hungry...

Thank you and also appreciate your parting bit about liberty.

The funny thing is, you can carry a full length fillet knife in the UK as long as it is part of your fishing gear and you can show you are going or returning from a fishing trip. But locking knives have been banned completely in the UK and it has done nothing to prevent knife crime at all.

Criminals don't care about the law. We are simply being disarmed and cornered

Just a quick tip, bleeding your mackerel by slicing the neck or the tail as soon as you catch it then transferring them to cold water will result in much firmer flesh and less blood. They'll taste cleaner too, much less fishy.

Something about just watching this video was incredibly relaxing. Please do not turn evil and use your awesome voice to lull us into a false sense of security.

beautiful job. I don't even think to fillet fish near that size because I mess em up so bad. I like opinel knives, but have had them rust up on me before. Still use em for my camping knife because they're ultra knife. Good video

I like that you try not to waste anything .

Quick tip for anyone who owns one of these. I typically finish my opinels using shellac. Durable, old school, looks good, blah blah...BUT the filet knife I finished with tru oil and it works out great. Tru oil is a gunstock oil (for those who don’t know) and it’s basically indestructible. You can also paint it into the little corners to keep blood and nastiness out of the wood. So for anyone who’s using these for their intended purpose and doesn’t want a blood stained, crime scene lookin filet knife...tru oil is where it’s at. Smells great, too...

This was a very enjoyable video, thank you for making it! That was an outstanding job you did filleting that fish. I love opinel knives, they are some of the best cutting knives on the planet.

Nicely done. I am a fan of Opinel knives as well. I am so sorry about the knife (and firearm) situation in the UK at present.

Don't let them ever take your guns or accessories. Back in the day you could buy canons just like the army had.

Pro tip: You can use every part of a fish. The bones can be dried, then ground up in a coffee grinder then mixed with sea salt. This makes a nutritious seasoning for vegetables or whatever. Alternatively, the bones of most small fish can be fried in butter or olive oil until golden brown. Add salt and eat like chips. Cheers

The head and bones can also be boiled to become fish stock as well.

Thanks for sharing! Made me very hungry! 👍🏼

Thanks for sharing, I'll definitely try this. Great way to minimize waste and bones. I especially like the initial cut and the rib cage treatment.

As a Canadian I am saddened that rationality has left much of the Commonwealth when it comes to honest men and knives. A man takeing an Opinel fillet knife fishing should not face 5 years in prison in a just / sane society. Thank you my great great grandparents for high tailing it for the rough and tumble colonies and lax knife laws 8-)) ! We are getting some great tasteing Mackrel up from California in British Columbias warmer waters now. ( global warming ) ? Awesome on the BBQ !! Great vid.

…“Hold onto your liberty as long as you can”… Damn, that’ll snap you back to reality. Thanks brother.

Holy Mackerel! Sharp knife. I have 3 Opinels, but must get a slimline now.

YOOO. Coming in from the inside to scrape those ribs bones is freaking brilliant. My whole game just changed, now I must go fishing soon.

Excellent product fillet knife. I use it often to remove skin from Salmon. The safety cover is approximate as it is very sharp.

Wow, that knife really scared me, don't do that again or I might wet the bed. Good video, I've been filleting for years now, but this video still had some helpful pointers for me!

"Hold on to your liberties..." Will do my best, thanka for the video 👍

I know this is off-topic, but I absolutely love the sunny yellow colour of your kitchen. Thank you for sharing another interesting video! (Enjoy your dinner!!!)

its so good to see you using all the fish, darn tasty 2!

Great knives. Just got my st steel no.10

I have a couple of Opinels. They are terrific value for money but as you mention, they are not the sort of knife you can risk slipping in your pocket if you are out and about.

Nice style, different from mine - when you have a box to deal with rather than a couple of fish you're inclined to use the quick Whizz-Whizz method, pin-bones or not! But next time it's for my table, I'll give your way a good try out.

If u cut the mackerel behind the base of skull then pull its head in a downward motion it will take the head and guts in one step

your opinel is soo beautiful , i want the same one for my collection

Thanks for the video, Dr. Hayes. Can you confirm which specific model this knife is? (I'm thinking SlimLine #15?) Thanks again!

WOW! 5 years for carrying a knife. I couldn't live in the UK, I value my freedom too much.

I agree with the sentiment - i think he should make a series out of it.

Best filleting job I've ever seen:)

@sandmothtube Thanks fo rthe interest. I bought mine in France, it has no markings apart from Opinel stainless inox (inoxidable) France, not even a number. So sorry I can't help you there. I use it mainly on holiday as I have a Martiini and also a Gerber filleting knife for use at home, but this probabaly outperforms eityher of them. can only suggest keep searching, if I come up with anything I'll post it here

fish head soup with potatoes and onions!

That looks beautiful, the fish not the knife, Although the Knife is pretty I should be picking mine up on Tuesday

I agree with you. That is also one of the thing I like about this video.

@WALLY065 12.5 cm exactly, I just measured it. There is a smaller version

Nice video. I like to do longer smoother strokes with my blade over the short sawing motions here. Keeps the meat nicer and together better.Years as a sushi chef I guess.

Does one know here with the Slim Line Opinel? If so, is it true that fold up by itself in the bag and the blade is not properly absorbed by the magazine and thus there is a high risk of injury?

how do you clean your opinel afterwards?

I see how much you love fresh mackerel. I understand. See my panfish filleting video for the heck of it.

nice video and knife!

Great video. ...awaiting mine in the mail. Cheers :)

Move to the usa..we need more boys like u bro.

Приветствую ! Подскажите удобно ли его мыть всё-таки складной нож опинель ????

it's a No 12 or 15?

some of us are still holding to our country but far too many are willing to exchange liberty for artificial safety. some of us still have our spines. I will stand with my brothers when the time comes.

All pocket knives are illegal to carry in Britain? Also are Spanish Mackerel seasonal to catch in the waters off of Britain's coast or can you fish for them all year long?

Great video

@sandmothtube found them at outdoor gear (sorry can;t post link, they came up quite soon on a google on opinel knives uk They're called 'slimline'

good knife for fillet fish.

cool video!!!

Fish bones make a decent stock

That's not the way I do it! Just kidding. Looked like the best way! That's silly you can't carry a fishing knife.

How many cm long is the blade?

Is that a slimline #10? bubinga handle?

I will say I eaten the bones or pick them out since I was little and fry the whole body

Well, you have your knife, can enjoy it using it for it's intended purpose, why would you need to carry outside for.

Superb

He didn't "diss" murica (United States Of) you idiot. He says "hold on to your liberty as long as you can". Meaning that where ever he is from is very restrictive on weapons possession. Making it hard to to have simple tools like a pocket knife.

it is insane how bad laws in england are, they've got restrictive laws on everything, what's next? your butter knife's too long? oh it is, in jail for a month for possession of a long butter knife :P

Long Blade ? Es gibt die in 4 verchiedenen Größen N°8, 10, 12 und 15 !

Some people do, but then you have the bones in the fillet. This is just how i do it, there may be other ways.

Holy mackerel! Nice fish, I'll pass on the toy knife.

To be honest I have never tried or even thought about it so I can't answer your question.

Or you just cook the fish as it is and debone it while eating, then nothing goes to waste.

hold on to your liberty for as long as ye can

Nice knife, and in the US the idiots we have as government education officials have us say fill-a instead of fillet.

If a man ever tells me I can't carry that knife, it may very well be the last thing he ever says.💀freedom is paid for by the blood of our forefathers, we must be willing to do the same! come and take it!!
