How to filet flounder!

     Step by step instructions and pictures of how to filet a flounder!

For ease of viewing I am filleting the top of the fish first, then the bottom.

Place the filet knife just behind the top fin at the angle as shown.

Next make the first cut across the fish cutting down to the horizontal bone. You will feel it against the knife.

flounder02-295-212.jpg

Beginning at the tail, cut at the edge of the fish down to the bone and following the edge as shown in the next three pictures.

flounder03-295-180.jpg

flounder04-295-138.jpg

flounder05-295-152.jpg

Position the knife as shown.

flounder06-295-204.jpg

Once there, grasp the filet cut between the filet and bone as shown in the next two pictures, stopping at the center bone.

flounder07-295-194.jpg

flounder08-295-228.jpg

Once there, draw the knife over the center bone as shown.

flounder09-295-270.jpg

Continue grasping the filet and cutting between the filet and bone as shown in the next three pictures.

flounder12-295-210.jpg

Once you have separated the filet from the bone cut completely through the fish as shown.

The result will be one filet.

Turn the fish over to repeat the same process as the top side as shown in the next five pictures.

flounder17-295-172.jpg

flounder18-295-188.jpg

flounder19-295-218.jpg

This results in two boneless filets.

The final step is to remove the skin.  Grasp the edge of the narrow end and make a cut, stopping at the inner surface of the skin.

Holding the skin use a back and forth cutting action as depicted in the next two pictures.

     I wish to thank my friends Joe and Kenny who took all the pictures after a great day of fishing!

     The links to the left provide current marine and local weather reports, extended local weather reports, tide charts and the U. S. Coast Guard Navigation Center, featuring GPS information, DGPS sites (which are a must for anyone with a differential GPS), LORAN-C information, Local Notice to Mariners plus a boat load of miscellaneous navigational links and my Site Map.  Although most of the links to the left provide local information, my out of state visitors can also find nationwide marine and weather information.

     The links to the right have my Boating, Fishing, Knot Tying (fishing and boating knot tying instructions with pictures and some animations) and Tackle Tips pages.  My Fish Species Page has color pictures of the most popular fish caught off the Massachusetts coast along with information such as their reproduction, habitat, food they eat, fishing season, angling tips, handling and cooking.  Following these are my Search Engine pages, one with short descriptions and another in a table form, plus my Research Page.  Last but not least, is my Doll House Gallery featuring the Farmhouse and The Garfield!  These keep me busy in the winter.

     This page is best viewed at a resolution of 800 x 600.

     As you visit my pages you will notice I love animation.  Feel free to copy any of the animations.

     Please don't hesitate to contact me if you are having trouble locating marine, boating, fishing, tackle information or have any questions!
