Firm pearly white flesh akin to polystyrene makes for much easier filleting. Not like some of the flabby pink fillets for sale in supermarkets. As for filleting knives, that's another subject! |

Yepp it is indeed. If you take a look at the snapper fillets in that link I posted you will see they are shiny and glossy - firm looking. A fish that hasn't been treated right and carved up with a dull knife won't look anything like that. |
