Whats the best way to clean a Redfish to cook the on the half-shell?
Last weekend we caught more reds than I have in the past 10 years. I was using an electric filet knife to clean them and it was a chore. I would make a cut right behind the side fin, then go down the top of its back towards the tail. After that I would go back to my 1st cut and go all the way down it's back bone out the tail. It worked ok but I seemed to leave a lot of meat behind.
I would consider myself pretty good with a filet knife so I didnt know if there was an easier way to clean them or would a regular hand-held filet knife work better to get close to the bone. Any tricks or suggestions would really be appreciated!
