Next Step: Lift and separate On the right is what you should see when done separating. If you don't see this, make sure it's a fish that you're working on and not like a cow or a chicken.

Below is what you will see when you hold up a piece of fillet with the ends of the Y bones sticking out. In your case, it should be minus the "I-just-changed-the-oil-on-the-truck" thumbnail. Eeeeww! My other hand was cleaner but it was holding the camera. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Have you checked out Emeril's hands up close, lately? Uh-huh!

Just another shot of a deboned fillet with the dreaded Y bones in a fairly neat pile to the right of the fillet. Northern-eating protocol states that the Y bones shall be plucked out with thumb and index finger in quantities of three to six at a time, and then thrown over one's right shoulder with abandon. You'll need to explain this part to your wife if you happen to be eating inside. Hey, I don't make the rules...

CONGRATULATIONS! You've successfully complete Y Bone Picking 101 from Red Rock University. The final exam is self-administered and eating the results is recommended. Please follow this grade curve: If you don't get a single bone in your mouth, you get an "A". 1-2 bones is a "B", 2-4 bones is a "C", 5-6 bones a "D", and 7+ bones means you need to crack open a can of tuna or resign yourself to the lower ranks of walleye eaters. If you scored a grade of C or higher, you may add C.N.P.E. to your name and display it proudly. It takes true dedication to be a Certified Northern Pike Eater! You'll need to make your own diploma - budget cuts...
