Using a fillet knife properly can help you efficiently and effectively remove the bones and skin from a fish. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use a fillet knife on a fish:

1. Firstly, gather your tools: Make sure you have a sharp fillet knife, a cutting board, and a towel or non-slip surface to keep the fish stable.
2. Prepare the fish: Rinse the fish under cold water and pat it dry with a paper towel. Lay the fish on the cutting board with the side you want to fillet facing up.
3. Start at the tail: Hold the tail firmly with your non-dominant hand. Place the tip of the fillet knife at the base of the tail, perpendicular to the cutting board.
4. Begin the cut: Apply gentle pressure and make a small incision at the base of the tail. Slide the knife along the spine, following the contour of the fish, toward the head.
5. Guide the knife: Use your non-dominant hand to hold the fish steady and guide the knife. Subsequently, keep the knife at a slight angle, following the rib bones and using them as a guide.
6. Remove the fillet: Continue cutting along the fish’s backbone until you reach the gills or pectoral fin. Lift the fillet slightly, and with a smooth slicing motion, cut through the flesh connecting the fillet to the fish.
7. Repeat on the other side: Flip the fish over and repeat the process on the other side. Start at the tail and work your way toward the head, following the contour of the fish and removing the second fillet.
8. Remove the skin: Place one fillet skin-side down on the cutting board. With one hand holding the tail, grip the skin near the tail end with your other hand. Carefully slide the knife between the flesh and the skin, applying light pressure and using a sawing motion to separate the skin from the fillet. Repeat this step for the other fillet.
9. Finally, trim and clean: Examine the fillets for any remaining bones or dark meat. Use the fillet knife to trim away any excess fat or connective tissue. Remember to rinse the fillets under cold water to remove any loose scales or debris.

Without a doubt, I always recommend you keep your fillet knife sharp for better control and ease of use.  However, you need to exercise caution and keep your fingers away from the blade to prevent accidental cuts.
