Take the fillet you got from the mate and lay it skin side down on a cutting board. Cut along the lateral line from the head end to the tail with the knife held at a 45 degree angle. You will have one large strip and one small one with very little dark meat. Bread or batter fry the large one for a dynamite fish taco. Save the small pieces to add to a stew such as Cioppino or Bouillabaisse. Good luck with those center strips.
