Make last cut to remove
the ribs and any belly fat (where any
contaminants are).
What a nice filet.
By keeping the skin below during this step, your
cutting board will last longer.
Discard ribs and belly fat.
If this can be done with perch, walleye being
bigger are even easier.
Put skin back in place and flip fish over and
repeat.

This is how we clean all our walleye and perch.
For different species other methods may be
better.
