A thin, flexible, very sharp knife is best to cut through and along bones without tearing the meat.

]]> 93188 2 0 Tip Don’t use a serrated or electric knife to fillet a fish. It will shred the delicate flesh.

]]> 93189 3 0 Step Arrange the fish Place the fish with its belly facing away from you and its head to your left if you are right-handed, or to the right if you are left-handed.

]]> 93190 4 0 Step Make the first cut Cut into the fish just behind the gills, with the tip of the knife angled away from the fish’s head. Slice from the belly to the top, and down to the spine but not through it.

]]> 93191 5 0 Step Cut along the spine Slide the knife blade along the spine toward the tail. Use a sawing motion, severing the rib bones as you go. The knife should scrape the backbone as you cut.

]]> 93192 6 0 Tip Most of the meat is on the top half of the fish.

]]> 93193 7 0 Step Flip the fish Stop before you get to the tail, leaving the fillet attached. Flip the fish over, leaving the just-cut fillet on the bottom to support the backbone as you cut the second fillet.

]]> 93194 8 0 Step Cut the second fillet Repeat the process on the second side. This time cut through without stopping at the tail. Then flip it back and cut the first fillet free.

]]> 93195 9 0 Tip The skin can be removed or left on while cooking the fillet.

]]> 93196 10 0 Step Remove the rib and pin bones Slide the knife under the rib bones on top of each fillet to shave them off. Then run your fingertip or knife over each fillet to raise the pin bones. Remove these with the needle-nose pliers or tweezers.

]]> 93197 11 0 Fact Hawaii is the top state in weekly McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish sales. Ohio is second.
