Learn to use an electric knife and your yield will be higher!

Why electric yielding more? I get right next to the bone with no trouble.
As a guy who used to sell cutlery, I know what a sharp knife can do. I've
taken to stropping (effectively) mine on a buffer wheel. Even my razor
knives revived!

Skip, lusting after Mahi, but striking out on all but Barracuda lately


I guess it has more to do with how many fish you are cleaning. In our
last outing, our group of six caught and cleaned over 150 snapper,
grouper, kings, dolphin, and a wahoo. The electric knife won with about
6-1 over the standard filet knife and the yield was better but we were
under a time constraint with all of those fish so the guy with the filet
knife was getting sloppy. I guess it's a matter of technique but you
could almost see through the fillets cut with the electric knife.
