- tptacek 8y agoDon't you need to bleed the fish out before you cut the fillet? Also, don't you butcher the fish as the last step before actually cooking it?
- munificent 8y ago> Don't you need to bleed the fish out before you cut the fillet? Especially for smaller fish, it's common to not bleed them at all. I've only cleaned fish myself a couple of times, but I've never bled them. > Also, don't you butcher the fish as the last step before actually cooking it? The distinction between these steps isn't always clear. Unlike mammals, fish are pretty anatomically simple, especially small ones. So the entire fish prepping process is little more than cutting a fillet off each side.
