Bones

How do you get the stupid bones out of your salmon/steelhead fillets?

I cut my fillets to length, then pull the pin bones with a set of needlenose. Some guys just cut a 1" strip out of it to remove the bones.

I saw a gourmet chef at a demonstration do it just like Muskybob said. He used pliers and pulled each one out individually. It only took a couple of minutes but there were no bones and he didn't waste any meat.

My son IS a trained chef and he told me years ago to pull them. Can't remember how many per fillet, but been pulling them ever since. Good knurled tips on the needlenose help.

pick them out while eating. Doesn't bother me too much
