PRECISE FILLETING OF FISH

The filleting knife, as the name suggests, is designed for filleting fish and meat. It is used to remove the skin from the fish or the bones. Thin slices can be cut by the precision tool. This way, there is never too little and never too much removed. The filleting knife is also part of the standard equipment of every cook as well as anglers.

WHAT DIFFERENCES ARE THERE BETWEEN FILLETING KNIVES?  

The blade of a filleting knife is very sharp. It is slender and tapers to a very pointed tip. The blade material can be stiff or flexible. Blades that adapt to the food can be guided past bones. This is why flexible blades are mostly recommended for filleting both large and small fish. In contrast, stiff blades are more suitable for cutting meat or fish. The right choice of blade also depends on your filleting preferences. So does the blade length. This depends on the size of the fish or piece of meat you are cutting. The bigger the fish, the easier it is to make a clean cut with a longer knife. On the other hand, longer blades are also a bit harder to wield.
