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!

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.

Ah...

My filets aren't designed to be multi-cut. Just get it off the fish. I
could see how, if you were slicing multiple thicknesses from a single
slab
it would go faster...

Only six pigs would pull and keep 150 fish out of the ocean. That's 25
fish each.

Oink, oink, oink.


It was a three day charter, know-it-all. We could have kept twice that
many.

Maybe my bubble butt buddy Harry doesn't realize that fish freezes very
well and there would be no difference in catching 150 fish in three days
as opposed to catching, say, 25 per week per person......

That and he would croak if he ate the fish in the cesspool where he
allegedly boats.
