Vent: spent 2 years butchering whole fish wrong because I never watched anyone do it

Finally saw a guy at the New Fulton Fish Market break down a striped bass in 90 seconds flat and realized I'd been mangling the collar and leaving way too much meat on the frame the whole time, has anyone else had a 'wait that's how you do it' moment watching a pro?

The spoon trick is basically cheating, I love it. Makes me wonder how much good fish I've tossed out over the years.

Try the "silver skin" trick: scrape with a spoon tail to head.
