Filleting Perch?

Fair amount of wasted meat in that video. Fastest is not always best.

MichiganMan:
Black Dog,
  The fish in the video have been run thru a commercial scaling machine. I use a smaller version at home, I've also seen some home built models. Filleting is much easier and dulls your knife less after scaling.

twd000:
"none of the above" for me

instead of filleting or scaling, I skin them like the guy in this video:

Sometimes I do...sometimes I don't. Same with other pannies. When fillets are hot out of the oil, pan, etc. those bones are nice and soft. But if you pull a leftover fillet  from the fridge to munch on, they  are hard again. I don't mind them, but my wife does so I generally take them out.
