Before I get started with this juicy recipe, let me first give you a quick guide to easily removing the pin bone from your Greenfish Angel Fish fillets.
STEP 1:
Place your fillets on a chopping board and identify the long pin bone running down the centre.
STEP 2:
Using a sharp knife run the blade along either side of the pin bone, removing it from the centre.
STEP 3:
Wasn’t that easy… pin bone removed and two beautiful fillets ready to get soaked in garlic, butter and herbs!
Now that you have successfully removed the pin bone, lets get stuck into our recipe!
