Any worms in them? That seems to be a problem these days. 25 years ago
, my parents would buy filets in MN 2-3 times a month and they were
great (and cheap). I haven't heard of any available commercially now.

Not that we are aware of. Besides we freeze them in a block of ice before
taking them out to thaw and cook.

I've filleted thousands of perch. Nothing to it. What do you think the
big deal about it IS?

Where did Kevin jump on you? If you are referring to me, I simply cut
and pasted a direct quote from you to John not hours before your
"positve comment". Again, it is a direct quote of YOURS, so if you
think that I was jumping on you, then you must think you were jumping
on John!!

I simply told you that I'm not Kevin, idiot.

Yes, you are a sad specimen of humanity.

I'm not Kevin, you dolt. Take THAT stick out of your ass.
Aren't you going to start talking trash about my family again, you low
life?
You certainly are bipolar and it surely doesn't take much to set you
off!
As for filleting fish, I find it enjoyable, almost theraputic. Perhaps
you should try it, it might do wonders for your current mental
conditions. As for your above blather, when you start acting like a man
instead of an imbicile, I'll start treating you like a man.

It is not rocket science Kevin. But I would rather have 63 fish descaled
and filleted by someone else rather than stinking up the place for an hour
or so doing it myself.

Take that stick out of your ass and folks might just start being friendly to
you.
