"West Country fish fillets", where fish is caught in the West Country but filleted in China, was another highlighted example.

Surely it can't be cheaper to transport it there and back rather than pay people here to do the job?

Re: British caught fish filleted in China!
Youngs started shipping their British caught langoustine to Bangkok for processing in 2007

Re: British caught fish filleted in China!
i live a couple of min away from Grimsby docks where filleters are thin on the ground these days due to the decline of the fishing industry ,my next door neighbour was a filleter but these days drives a truck a sign of the times i think .

Agree - there are all sorts of instructional videos available on YouTube and the like but the most important thing is a nice, sharp, fillet knife..

Yes, books are still my default setting for stuff like this but I discovered the value of YouTube when seeking tips on preparing lobster. Some of the videos there are great - really clear and very helpful.
