How to fillet Catfish
Make two small cuts in the skin just below the head where the muscles connect to the head. Use pliers to peel the skin from head to tail. Run the knife down one side of the spine to start the fillet. Pull the meat away from the fish very gently. Simultaneously run the knife down the cut as you are pulling. Cut across it just above the tail, which will separate it from the body partially. Continue to run the knife down the other side while cutting around the bones. Find the belly area and gently pull it away while continuously running the knife down your cut. The meat will eventually pull away completely.
