This video shows how to fillet and skin a spotfin croaker. Sorry about the camera angle cutting out my face half the time... need to work on that.
I fillet corbina and even perch and yellowfin croaker (if for some reason I keep them) in the same manner with the same techniques. This fillet job wasn’t the cleanest job I could have done but hey, it got the job done and it shows exactly how to do it.
