need help to cut up salmon

i caught a salmon and need some ideas on how to cut it up for freezing. its 35″ and would like some steaks and filets but not sure how to do that any help is helpful

I have never fried salmon, I have only smoked it. For me that is the only way to go for salmon. Anyway when we smoke it just gut it and throw the rest in the smoker! Nothing better! Just a thought.

Oh boy, I can`t tell you how many of those things I`ve chopped up over the years. My brother had a charter boat on Lake Michigan for some years, he`s probably done thousands.

Anyway, if you want some steaks and a couple filets, cut the steaks from the head all the way back to where the rib cage ends. Once the ribs stop, just filet off the tail section along the backbone like you would with any other fish. Hope this helps.

ok have one more question when i cut the steaks do i leave bones from the rib cage on or felet them from the bone or just cut across the back bone and leave the rib cage along with the back bone intaked. thanks

steak out the salmon about 1 inch thick, just go across the backbone and ribs and leave them in, it helps to hold all the flaky meat together while its cooking. it easily falls apart and separates when you are ready to eat it. Jack.

Hey Beav,

Glad to see your back. How was the trip up nord???

JUST A FINISING NOTE WHEN YOU GET DONE FILLETING TAKE A PLIERS AND REMOVE THE PIN BONES USE YOUR FINGER TO FIND THEM AND PULL THEM OUT WITH A PLIERS NOW ITS COMPLETLY BONELESS SEEYA
