A fillet is a slice of meat that starts from behind the head down to the tail. The fillet can be with or without pinbones, skin-on or skinless.

 

Type of fillets:
V-cut: pinbone is removed along with the strip of flesh that is below the lateral line and 1/3 of the way back from the head.

J-cut: like the V-cut the pinbones are removed and the nape section of the fish is also removed. The nape is below the lateral line just before the belly.


Packing: 5/10kg in bulk IQF, 1kg bag IQF, interleaved or shatterpack
