How to Fillet Redfish and Sea Trout

This video emphasizes the importance of skillful fish filleting, particularly for redfish and sea trout, as taught by Captain William Toney. Toney, an experienced inshore fishing guide on Florida's Gulf Coast, has honed his expertise with a fillet knife through years of practice. This skill is not just a professional necessity for him but also a crucial part of responsible fishing and consumption.

The tutorial aims to impart the knowledge of fish anatomy, which is essential for efficient filleting. Understanding the structure of different fish species enables one to extract the maximum amount of meat without wastage. This respect for the harvested animal aligns with the ethical principle that if you kill something for food, you should utilize it fully.
