lOOKIN FOR HELP I now clean my solmon with a mister twister electric knfe. Works ok first rolling fish on back and cutting off the belly,then taking both sides off while flat on the table. Then i take off the skin while laying flat but end up cutting through the skin because of the thichness of the fish in the middle. Any help would be great . Should i use a regular knife and what is the proper way? Thanks so much and happy fishing.

First thing I'd try with your electric is a shallower angle of attack - just a bit off parallel to the skin.

If you still have trouble cutting through the skin, then it is time to use a good old manual fillet knife (sharp) to remove the skin. That will give you the control that the electric may be lacking.

Personally, I fillet everything with a plain old fillet knife because I like the control it gives me to get the most meat off the carcass. I used to find that I left a lot of meat behind when I used an electric. I also leave skin-on my salmon and trout fillets because I generally cook them on the grill or in the smoker and the skin keeps them from falling apart.

Aside from that - give youtube a look - lots of fish cleaning videos to be viewed.
