  1. i like the way you killed the fish…. i hate when people beat their food
    to death… and i like the way you made peace with the fish… it reminds
    us that food is a blessing and not just something you buy..

  4. Dry ice would suffocate the fish in a matter of minutes. It can be used for
    rabbits and other small animals.

  5. Not bashing their heads is easier on you but you are kinda torturing the
    fish! :/

  6. Why wouldn’t you de scale them before you fila them? It has to be easier to
    de scale the whole fish instead of fila’s.

  9. Using an electric knife makes filleting SOOOO much easier….and, you don’t
    have to make the two initial cuts. Just place your knife along the natural
    angle made by the gill fin and cut straight down to the back bone. Then,
    back your knife out just a bit, and make a 90 degree turn and cut straight
    back to the tail. Flip that piece over and cut the meat away from the skin.
    Sometimes you have to cut the rib cage away, but not all the time.

  10. You don’t need to cut the tail till last. 🙂 It makes it a little easier to
    hold onto.

  13. That is NOT how to filet a fish. There is no reason to gut them, in fact
    it’s not a good idea at all. You’re using a totally wrong knife. There’s a
    reason they have special knives for filleting a fish. That knife is WAY too
    dull and too fat. You’re also missing the cheek flesh too.

  14. The great news is you’ll be able to create your own aquaphonics system
    although you have no idea about building aquaphonics before.

  16. I think you should look into the method often used in japan – it involved
    taking a very thin knife or needle to poke at the brain stem and they’ll
    die instantly and without distressing the fish. honestly, Japanese fish
    prep is (I think) a bit more pleasant of a process and may be worth you
    looking into if you’re going to be raising your own fish.

  17. what is the minimum size tank you can keep tilapa in? I am setting up a
    aquaponic garden out of 55 gallon drums. Will this be big enough for
    tilapia? Also, how long does it take for them to grew to full size? Thank
    you

  20. Nice video! Handy tip with the pliers. There are some really good videos
    on getting the most yield when filleting a talapia on YouTube. You might
    want to check them out. Going to go through your other vids when I have
    time. Hopefully you have some on your aquaponics setup.

  21. Most humane way to kill a gilled animal is to remove them from the water,
    take a mouthful of your favorite strong-proof alcohol (i prefer rum) and
    spit the rum into and across the membranes of the fish’s gills. Puts them
    immediately into a drunken coma. They feel nothing after that. We all could
    only wish to go out so peacefully.

  22. Lady you seriously need a lesson on filleting fish. Firstly putting them in
    ice water causes severe pain making the meat more tasteless. Bashing them
    is less painful and makes them taste better. When filleting, try laying
    your fish on a damp cloth.
