How to Fillet a Fish 2 Ways | BoatUS

You've caught that keeper striped bass, and it's time to prep it for dinner. BoatUS Magazine fishing editor Lenny Rudow shows you two methods to fillet a fish, specifically a striper or rockfish,. One method removes the scales but leaves the skin on for grilling, and the other removes the skin, which is better for baking. [FYI, despite Lenny's technique and experience, we recommend scaling AWAY from your hand for safety.] He also shows you the correct way to prepare the fish carcass for disposal overboard after filleting so it doesn't pollute the marina.
