Top five reasons why it's important to know how to fillet a fish:
1. Don't get voted off the island. Make yourself indispensable with your filleting skills.
2. Impress your boyfriend on his next fishing trip when you take out your leatherman and fillet the fish he just caught in less than five minutes.
3. Get a job on a private party yacht cruising around the Caribbean.
4. Precursor to becoming a sushi chef.
5. Fish stays fresher if it's whole and you can use all the bones and trimmings for one of those really tasty french sauces.

Amy, I am SO impressed with the video! You did a fantastic job and I loved every minute of it. I haven't filleted a fish in years, but now I'm determined. And I miss your apartment SO much - I had flashbacks from Bastille Day 2005 with Eric's famous G & Ts and us swigging the good champagne in your kitchen so we didn't have to share with the people on the roof! Ah...how did I get from filleting a fish to champagne?!!

I'm glad you could view it. I think I might have to change the format a little. Was it clunky or did it run smooth for you?
Can't wait to have you over to the roof again. I'm getting a shipment of plants tomorrow to make up for all the ones I killed this winter.
I've got a G&T with your name on it anytime your ready...
Bisous,
Ms. Glaze

The video was a little clunky for me, but I was still very impressed with your profesionalism. It's only too easy to see you with your own cooking show! You've got the charisma, looks, and I bet Jamie Oliver can't fillet a fish...
