Dono - Y bones in pike are different than the pin bones in most other fish. Pike family Y bones are very similar to the bundles of inter muscular bones in suckers where the bones lie in between the meat layers, 'flakes' or myomeres. Pin bones extending outward from the backbone toward the skin, are thought to be connected to the backbone; some fish specialists disagree.
Boburk- Filleting fish as in the video above gutting the fish is not necessary. Gutting a fish is usually done for fish that are left "whole" with back bone and ribs included. Fish cleaned "whole" can be skinned or scaled with skin left attached.
