How to fillet Arctic Char:
With their thin skin and tiny scales, char do not need scaling and are often cooked whole. To fillet larger fish, place the char lying on its side; insert the sharp, thin knife behind the gills, and cut in an arc down to just above the backbone. Continue cutting parallel to the backbone toward the tail. Bring the knife up at the tail and remove the fillet.
