 Help with filleting flatheadMark writes: Can some one please give me a few pointers on filleting flathead? I know how to fillet the fish but I would like some assistance on learning to fillet flathead without any bones as fish between 25-30 cm are very bony around the head of the fish. Any pointers would be appreciated. (3 April 2002) Henry replies: Hi Mark. Cut In below gills, turn knife and cut back along the backbone, stopping the cut about 5-10mm before the tail is reached. Scrape about 3cm of flesh from the skin (back towards the head) then place knife flat on flesh with pressure and, holding the fish by the skin, tear skin away from flesh in a single smooth motion. Repeat for other side of fish. Because the bones are attached to the skin they will tear away from flesh leaving a boneless and skinless fillet. This method is the quickest and easyest way to clean small flathead. (4 April 2002)
