Thanks for the feedback.

Believe it or not, but that knife normally takes the hair off my arm (still does, I just checked), but it isn't a filleting knife that's for sure. I'll take another look at it.

You're right, the method isn't really suited for your purpose.

All the best! I'd be interested in seeing your wife's fish cakes recipe.
