About

Fish can also be boned, leaving a whole fish with no bones and a pocket in the flesh which can be stuffed. Pocket boning is suitable for trout and mackerel.

Method

Slit an ungutted fish along its spine from the head to the tail.
Ease the flesh away from the bone on both sides of the fish with a sharp knife.
Snip though the spine and pull it out, along with the guts, and rinse well.
