PICS or it never happened.

Check with Youtube. They always have good fish preparation videos.

I have never had this problem. From what I gather, you gut and skin the catfish. Then, starting from behind the head, you cut the fish into 1" wide steaks until you get to a portion of the fish where the filleted meat would be under 1" in thickness. Then you cut the fillets off the fish.
