My 13yo grandson caught his first fish with a handheld spear while snorkelling in Sydney Harbour a few days ago. This is therefore his first attempt at filleting a fish!!
Ha ha ... my first thought was 'oh my god, that poor fish' ... then I read your text properly. Your grandson's spearing skills are obviously excellent, but he has a little way to go with the filleting! ;-)
Filleting a fish is not easy. I have messed up more than a few salmon. He will get better as he gets more practice. Good job on spearing the fish. That is such a cool way to catch a fish. My way is to set up the downrigger then sit back with a mug of hot coffee. It may have a little rum in it.
He absolutely needs to work on the filleting. There was hardly any edible fish left.
Thanks for the much appreciated comments. He lives the whole snorkelling spearfish thing. It’s Great
wonderful to spear this fish while snorkelling.

But I prefer to bake the whole fish ( sometimes with, sometimes without the head).
No way. He is very independent.
He fried it in some butter.
I’m with you. Catching something is a bit of a nuisance!
No filleting knife.
Thanks for the much appreciated comments. So many kind comments!!
Thanks. It’s a red morwong I think.
