How to Clean a Triggerfish (The EASY Way!) | Some of the Best Eating

Описание: Welcome back to Southern Waypoints Fishing! Today, we’re out of St. Petersburg, Florida, and my dad Doug is showing you step-by-step how to clean a triggerfish — one of the toughest-skinned, best-tasting fish in the Gulf. 💪🐟

Triggerfish are notorious for being hard to fillet thanks to their super thick skin and armor-like scales, but once you get through the hide, the meat is tender, white, and unbelievably good. Dad has been cleaning offshore fish for decades, and he’s sharing simple tips that make the whole process fast and easy.

🔥 In this video you’ll learn:

• Where to make your first cut
• The trick to getting past the tough hide
• How to remove the fillet cleanly
• A few pro shortcuts to save time

🎯 TRIGGERFISH FUN FACTS

• Their skin is so tough Native Hawaiians once used it as sandpaper.
• They get their name from their “trigger” spine, which locks upright to wedge into rocks and avoid predators.
• They’re one of the best-tasting fish in the Gulf — mild, sweet, and flaky.
