How to Skin a Side of Flat Fish

Use this method for removing the skin easily from large, whole fillets, such as salmon.

1. 1. Place the fillet skin side down on large, flat clean surface
   2. Hold the tail end taut and make a cut under the fillet to the skin below the tail, and loosen both sides.
   3. Hold the knife at an angle with one hand, holding the skin taut with the other, and scrape along the skin without cutting through it, using a gentle sawing motion to assist you.
