We don’t have to tell you that the Pacific Bluefin Tuna has been the center of the Southern California fishery for the better part of the last decade. Since these fish have returned to our local waters in astounding numbers, anglers have come from near and far to try their hand at capturing one of these highly coveted fish. Throughout this time we have learned that equally as important as the gear and tactics required to catch these fish, is the care given to them once boated. Gill and gutting, icing down heavily, and processing your trophy Bluefin requires both the knowledge and desire to make the most out of your catch. We’re here to show you how we like to filet Bluefin Tuna.
In this video, BD Outdoors Pro Contributor Mike Murciano demonstrates how he likes to process and filet his Bluefin Tuna. This Bluefin was previously gilled and gutted on the boat, and iced down for a full 24 hours prior to processing. Check out how he utilizes the new dual edge Dexter Outdoors Dextreme filet knife to make easy work of this mid-grade Bluefin. This knife incorporates a scalloped top edge to assist cutting through areas of tough skin like around the shoulder of a Bluefin, and also comes in handy when cutting around the ribs and tendons of the fish.
