How to properly cut a whole fish into fillets? Remove the tail, head and fins. Cut the carcass along the spine to the spine. Turn it on its side. With a sharp knife, cut the meat from the backbone bone. Turn the carcass over and cut the fillet from the other side. Clean the inside by removing the black film, as it is bitter and will spoil the taste. Rinse and be sure to dry well.

Never defrost the fish to the end if you have to cut it up! It is best to put it on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator and bring it to a slightly defrosted state. Then any manipulations, starting from cutting into steaks or large pieces and ending with cutting into fillets, will be successful. Completely unfrozen fish when butchered risks turning into a shapeless mass.

If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt is already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk over-salting the dish.
