Thanks for such a clear and complete demo. That must be one of the best explained videos I've seen on YT! And well done for not having annoying and pointless music on the sound track. I'm just going to fillet my first plaice now.

This is a tremendous tutorial; the narrator is marvellously eloquent and gives concise and clear instructions. It is a masterpiece of a tutorial. Now I need to do perform the procedure on the plaice in the kitchen that is taunting me to make a mess of it.

I've seen many instructional videos on KZread, but I have to say this is the best. Fantastically clear and well presented. Mind though, it's harder than it looks when you're learning.

This is genuinely one of the best tutorials I've seen on youtube. As concise as it was thorough; I wish every youtube video was this to-the-point. Great work!

The best Plaice filleting tuition I’ve seen yet.

Excellent, I started with zero experience and just finished with bloody ace Plaice. Thank you Duncan. The achievement of filleting outshone the eating of the Plaice, I really have learnt a new skill today.

This guy must be one of the best tutors on youtube.

Thank you for this video. I just started working at a large supermarket chain on the fish counter. The second the boss left me alone a customer wanted a place filleted! Co worker helped but it was outside our comfort zone.

This is brilliantly well done. I'm a technical author who's not afraid of the kitchen. I learnt both the skill of filleting the fish AND saw a brilliant example of an instructional video.

This has come in very useful after I realised my plaice had yet to be filleted. Thank you.

Very, very good great instruction. As you know, it's difficult to slow down and explain something you do everyday so naturally. Really enjoyed the way you broke it down and explained your craft. I'm a chef for nearly 30 years and learned from this.

Fantastically useful. I've watched this once and filleted my plaice and now, a few months later, I've watched it again before attacking another couple of plaice. Wish me luck!

Oh goodness I wish I'd seen this video befor I made a mess of boning my plaice. Plus I cut my bloody finger! Great video. Thanks for posting it. You are now my new best friend and will continue to be so with me in my kitchen lol

I was about to comment that this is not how to fillet a plaice. I was taught differently etc etc but when I saw you take 2 fillets off instead of 4 like i was taught i was mesmerised 😂😂 and it was so clean aswell

Truthfully, I'd never realised the skills of the fishmonger, really amazing. I'd love to buy your fish but a day trip from north Shropshire to Camberley might be a bit extreme.

Thanks for this very helpful video. I just bought some plaice from Tesco in the reduced section, didn't realise it wasn't already filleted lol. The part after you filleted the plaice to show where the knife goes along the bone was very helpful indeed. Great vid!

As usual, very well done, educational vid, Sue once showed me how to fillet a salmon for a certain supermarket chain, have to say I use these vids all the time in my day to day work. Bang on!

Such a big help as I'm doing an apprenticeship on the fish counter and I just can't not get the filleting stage right, but this would help me loads, thankyou :)

This was superb - cant believe I actually managed to do this and ended up with 2 fillets - albeit not as perfect as the ones on this video !! Thanks very much

11/10 great tutorial keep it up mate and thanks

got 2 plaice from ASDA for £1. Baragin! till i found out I had to fillet them 1st. well after this vid, there's no worry at all, everyone is happy!!!! cheers!

Masterful! So helpful, thank you!

Thank you. This was perfect.

Very informative!

Great video, well explained, cheers I can now fillet the bag of place I was given

Excellent clear instructions. Thanks for posting.

What a fantastic video. Thanks for putting such effort into it

professionally done instructional video, THANK YOU!! :)

Hi Bobstersbike! Thanks for the comment, really appreciated. We're actually fishmongers, without a fish shop, but one day... Like to show people how it shpuld be done, so do teach quite a bit

Duncan, Brilliant. Very well explained. Superb :)

Great tutorial. Thank you

what an amazing demo. you make it look so easy gonna try that Than You

Superb...Excellent!

Thank you is was very useful, I did it. 😀

Explained very good.I shall now try.

Excellent.

Thanks. This was very helpful. Now I shall attempt it for myself. Fingers crossed I'm as skilled.

@merlini1 Thanks for the positive comment! It does take practice, but keep at it. We were both rubbish at filleting when we first started. Its a great method, and if you follow it to the letter every time, you'll just get better and better x

@Strykewyrmo Hello! There's so many different ways to fillet all fish. We find this the best way to teach people who don't fillet already, as they always get great results and it encourages them to continue and improve. When we're filleting normally, we wouldn't trim it first, but when someone's learning, the fins and head can get in the way, so best to remove them first. Its all about building confidence and getting results when you're new to it, then you can modify your technique

@FatMonkey36 So glad you found them easy to follow! Everyone thinks its hard, but if you know the technique and follow it, its actually quite simple to fillet any fish!

Really useful excellent video. Nigel from Surrey

thanks! got it right the first time!

@CharlieSangster Glad you found it useful!!

Brilliant instructions, took me less than five minutes to fillet a place thanks to this!!!

BRILLIANT.

Thanks, very helpful.

Hello @TheScientiton which supermarket do you work for?? Glad the vids helped, if you'd like to see anything else, let me know and we can try to put it up for you. Thanks for taking the time to post the comment x

Amazing !!!!

Here's my method: 1. Try to follow detailed and well-explained instructional video 2. Fuck the first cut up completely 3. Lose the plot and start hacking away in a panic 4. Throw pile of shredded fish at wall

Absolutely nailed it.

It really helped us

Excellent

perfect.

I would have liked to see how to gut the plaice, it's the only fish I do not know how to gut a plaice.

Wow a master fish monger!

Thanks for this - I never would have worked it out by myself, and I managed to do it more or less. My husband insisted the black skin cannot be eaten and he removed that before cooking - is that right?

Nice video thanks

ty just filleted mine i messed the black side a bit from rushing still eatable though great vid

Yes, it can be done quicker - and is - in busy fishmongers and shops, but you have to be much slower in demonstrations. Also, many filleters either leave small bones or waste meat because they have to be quick. Take care and do it well is always best.

Just bought 2 place from my local ASDA with a 'fishmonger' who couldnt fittlet for me... this video will be useful for tomorrow's lunch. Thanks!!

Will there be any bones in the flesh if filleted properly?

@Passion4Fish

There might be a couple of tiny pin-bones in flat fish fillets. If you look at the fillet, flesh side up, it has 2 halves with a central line running from top to tail. If you use your fingertips to feel around this line, at the top (head) end of the fillet, you may feel a couple of bones, and you can just make a v-shaped cut to remove them. Also, it's sometimes worth a quick check around the outside edge or 'frill' of the fillet, in case you've left any of the fin bones on when filleting - other than that it will be bone free.

fab stuff. now I can go lie to my wife about being competant in the kitchen with these fish I caught.Ta

i work in a kitchen, and can fillet plaice in 30 secounds - 1 minuite. theres much easier ways than what you done.

If your not a teacher you should be, filleted my first plaice today, brilliant video thanks.
