This is getting out of hand

[niko]

i had a greenie give me a hard time a few years ago for having fillets with skins on. said they would prefer whole fish

Assuming you knew it was legal Paul... did you stand your ground, or just say "ok, next time"? I'm curious to what they said...

Be really nice if they allowed us to fillet Tautog out on the water... the docks down my way don't have fillet stations, and with the ramps being small and busy, I end up bringing them home to undress and freezing the racks if I'm not going out the next day

i usually go along to get along with any cops, but my big mouth got the best of me and i ended up calling dmf while he was on the boat. an hour later we were both clear that filleting at sea is totally fine. before i started doing charters i used to always skin at sea and just leave a tag of skin
