Here is the basic fillet method I use and seems to be the most common method. This is the best explaination I've seen so far anyway except I don't do the cheek thing at the end. I hold onto their mouth or head if I don't have a tail-clip board. But I have to wash the slime coat off the fish so I can hold onto it first. I like the tail-clip board better. I cut away from me and keep my fingers away from the blade.
