How To Fillet A Walleye

Below is a nice video presentation that shows how to fillet a walleye.

Walleye is delicious freshwater fish that has a nice layered texture, sought after by fish eaters and fishermen alike. An awesome bonus to a Canada fly in fishing trip is the walleye dinners and lake shore lunch's. Don't get me wrong pike is good but walleye is fantastic.

Cutting a walleye fillet is about the same as cutting a bass fillet, but I'd rather eat a walleye fillet any time.

You can also cut a walleye fillet and remove the rib bones without cutting through them like the gentleman in this video. I actually prefer removing the rib cage without cutting through it. This helps restore your fillet knife edge. If you don't mind sharpening your fillet knife then cutting through the rib cage isn't a big deal, just know you should take a sharpening stone along. Make sure you know how to sharpen a fillet knife before you depart on your Canada fly in fishing trip.

Using a battery powered electric fillet knife works great for going through the rib bones if you have one handy. There is a trade off though, a battery probably weighs more than a stone or 2. There are also lighter weight diamond stones that work excellent. I also like to bring a jack knife so I bring my sharpening stones anyway.

Notice how the guy in this video cuts out the walleye cheeks. Walleye cheeks are considered a delicacy and for good reason, they are kind of a sweet meat and just delicious.

Don't waste your walleye cheeks, instead enjoy a delicacy while on your fly in fishing vacation.

If you can cut any fish fillet it shouldn't be difficult to cut walleye fillet. If you've never cut a fillet before this video will certainly give you an idea of what you need to do.

Even if you have cut walleye fillets before you might still learn how to cut walleye cheeks. This is a great video and I thank it's creators for making it and sharing, thanks.
