It takes us 5-7 minutes per fish but this kid did it in 2 min a fish at the most and with zero waste and zero cuts into the boneless fillets.
He used the top loin off the back method and did it quickly, cleanly, and with little waste. His knife was razor sharp and his confidence with the knife was something cool to watch. The other thing that was amazing is there wasn't a drop of blood on the board and he skinned and moved the fillets to a clean area as you described.
It's a pleasure to watch someone with that much skill for sure.

I find the back method like in the video you posted seems to waster more meat. Hence I like the first method.
Here are my favorite vids and like you said it truly is amazing to watch guys like this.
