What is the best knife to fillet a Porgy?

In this tutorial we used the Dexter 7" Narrow Fillet Knife .

Should I spray the fillets down with water after removing them?

No! While this is common practice amongst many charter captains, you never want to hose down any of your meat after filleting it. If you need to clean off scales simply use a paper towel.

Will this work with any size Porgy?

Yes, this method will work with any size Porgy. This tutorial will also relate to other similar species!

What can I do with all the different parts of the fish?

Our recipes page is filterable by fish part, allowing you to find recipes for every part of your Porgy. The cool part about completely breaking down your fish is that you get to enjoy extra meals with all of the different parts of the fish!

What's the difference between filleting a Porgy and breaking down a Porgy?

Simply filleting a Porgy and discarding the rest of the fish will yield you only 2 pieces of meat, while completely breaking down a Porgy will allow you to make delicious meals with every part of the fish!
