afishyfish 4 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Not really all that different to any other fish Crispy, in my experience anyway.You'll find nyou tend to end up with a long , roundish fillet, and theres a fair bit of meat right against the skull base too Good luck and of course watch those spikes :pinch: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Poppa Snake 1,399 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 google "filleting Flathead". I found a video of how to do it. Leaves a "Y" shaped fillet not 1 bone in it. Yum Yum Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wetspot 0 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Get someone else to do it is the best way Seriously though, easy as, just like any other fish. If you don't like filleting, cook the fish whole, less waste more taste. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
