Thrilled to be reacquainted with the process of filleting a fluke ! I was taught by my grandmother after our first fishing adventure together many years ago. She had an arrangement to rent a small row boat on a seasonal basis and kept it tied up at the end of Hardy st. in Salem,Ma. I was asked, and readily agreed to row her wherever she wanted to go. I must have been all of 12 years of age then, and this was right up my alley! First we crossed the inner harbor to an estuary called Forest River for some eels, which she loved to eat, then we moved to our favorite flounder spot a bit further out from the mouth of the slow river / tidal basin. In those days we could fill a bucket with flounder in no time! Well after the very first time my grandmother showed me just once how to fillet the catch and left me to work on the remainder ! It wasn’t pretty at first, but by the time I finished with about 20 of those fish , I was getting real smooth. This video jogged my memory back to those awesome days ! My gram passed back in 1980 and I have only recently returned to fishing . I will think of her always as my fishing instructor and mentor. All I need now is a small craft to get myself out on the water instead of the crowded piers ! Soon I hope, I will check out our old fishing haunts! Thanks.
