Filleting Jackfish

I never took pictures of how to fillet connies and I regretted it afterwards. So I asked C. To show me how to fillet a jackfish he had caught and let me take photos.

 Here is the jackfish (beautiful creature really but with a mouth full of several rows of sharp teeth)

First put the knife in its belly right by the anus, aiming to come out near the backbone at the top.

Like this. And with the blade facing the tail cut along the backbone towards the tail without cutting the piece off

Then slice its belly open

And empty the belly

Then turn the fish around and putting the knife back into the first cut made from belly to backbone but this time with the blade facing the head, cut along the backbone towards the head

And cut the side of the fish off the at the head and the tail so it comes off

Then do the same on the other side

At this point you have the two sides cut off the backbone

Then cut the "triangular" part of the side not all the way to through to the skin

Then following the skin slide the knife between the skin and the flesh

Then turn the side of the fish around and slide the knife between the skin and the flesh from the back towards the front

Now you have a side without skin. Cut the "ribs" off

Then you have to cut the middle bones off by cutting along them, first on one side

Then the other

Ok, maybe I am not explaining it quite right but this is the way it is done,

Basically looking across a fish this is where the bones are, and this is what has to be removed:

Note that in a connie the side bone going slightly up are single bones, and in the jackfish they fork into two
