Dober If you cut just below the lateral line and then angle up above the Y-bones toward the dorsal part of the northern, you can pull the Y-bones out like a zipper.

I am apparently a slow learner cause I never got the hang of it... I'm not much of a fish eater so don't try that often....and I must say ( now....get your beer and popcorn ready!!!) that I consider fresh caught northerns every bit the equal of walleyes as table fare....

Don't get me wrong, it's great, everybody can eat walleye, even folks who didn't think they liked fish. But northern out of good cold water cooked properly is so firm & lean, different texture from walleye, tighter. I'd rather clean walleye that's for sure. but damn, good northern is hard to beat.
