Filleting a sea bass involves a few key steps to efficiently remove the fillets from the bone structure. Here's a breakdown of how to do it, based on the reference:
-
Initial Cut and Rib Release: Make one continuous cut to release the ribs and the tail section.
-
Rib Removal Technique: Use your knife to gently stroke over the ribs from head to tail. This helps to separate the fillet meat from the rib bones.
-
Spine as a Guide: Use the spine of the fish as your guide while filleting.
-
Tail to Head Completion: After working from head to tail, switch direction and go from tail to head to release the rest of the fillet.
