Remove the digestive tract and the blood line from Salmon and clean the inside of the fish with plenty of water
To de-scale the Salmon, using the Japanese method, lay the fish onto a cloth – this will prevent the fish from sliding. Without using any force, tuck a knife underneath the fish scales and allow the knife to use long cuts, whilst keeping the knife horizontal. Once de-scaled, hang the fish, this will allow the meat to set.

Scrape alog the ribs with a spoon to keep all the meat left after filleting for tartare
De bone the fish, by pulling the pin bones against the grain
