Learning to filet a fish

My husband brought the kids fishing last week and Saturday morning.

And he also thought my son how to filet a fish on Saturday.

So Alexandre received his first homeschool lesson of the 2011-2012 year.  Well, make that his 2nd lesson as he did a babysitting course last week…  *grin*

He was giggling the knife on the board and his first lesson was not to do that….  *grin*

They had caught many fishes during the morning. Alexandre received one of the smallest one for his first lesson.

Dad is explaining to him how to place the fish.

Trying it out…

Dad is explaining how to place the knife in an angle to cut under the fin.

Doing it.

Cutting the top of the fish after having done the both sides…

More cutting.

Poor fishy…   This will make small filets.    Apparently the fish was dead after being hooked so they couldn’t throw it back in the lake.

Doing filets.

Other side.

Removing the skin.

Removing the leftover bones.

Other filet being done.

And voilà.   My husband now has an helper when he will filet the fishes they catch…
