How to Fillet a Salmon and Prepare it for Smoked Salmon

by Smokehouse Products 12 Sep 2014 4 comments

Salmon fishing legend Herb Good demonstrates how to fillet a salmon in less than a minute. He will show you two different techniques to fillet a salmon, one with a gutted fish and the other technique with a whole fish. Each technique to fillet a salmon will show you how to cut off the fins, including the dorsal, adipose and other fins, plus how to handle the rib bones, cartilage areas and other details so that you end up with a beautiful fillet without hack marks. Herb will also show you how to cut and prepare the salmon for any smoked salmon recipe. How he slices the salmon will be sure to give you even thicknesses and excellent presentation when smoking your salmon. This is important for getting consistent results when smoking your salmon with our Big Chief and Little Chief Electric Smokers. Be sure to check out a continuation to this video where Herb Good shows how to smoke salmon with the original smoked salmon recipe of just salt and brown sugar.

Allen, for a knife similar to the one in this video, try the Victorinox 40133 breaking knife

Hey Paul, try the Victorinox 40133 breaking knife. It’s like using a samurai sword to fillet your salmon.

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
