whitbyboatguy Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Is that the same thing this guy is using in his "original" way to fillet his fish? Fillet a fish? <-guy is from Quebec, coincidence? I think not. I think the reason you can only find it in Quebec is that they have to do things different. Why not leave a bit of the tail attached and run your knife along the underside of the skin when the skin is lying on the counter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyb Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 No use for those skinners whatsoever....if I see one I'll let you know though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 I think the reason you can only find it in Quebec is that they have to do things different. The correct way to write that would be "to do things differently." You're looking for an adverb here answering the question "how". The answer is "differently". Yes, we do things differently here. Call Townsend Engineering in Iowa. They'll tell you where to buy one in your area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
