    1. Bleed the fish by cutting along the neck and splitting the heart in two.
    2. Gut the fish.
    3. Use a flexible and thin knife to cut along the rib bones in the belly starting from the neck.
    4. Follow the bones with the knife down toward the tail.
    5. Cut toward the back by following the bones with the knife.
    6. Cut the bone that lies in the side fin up toward the neck.
    7. Cut the bones from the dorsal fins.
    8. Use a pair of fish bone tweezers to pull out the bones running through the middle of the fillet.

    3-6 are the parts that require skill. 8 is only needed in some fish. Others have bones on the side that just go 1/3 of the way down and you can just cut that part out in a V formation.










  • As an algebraic topologist who did not even touch anything less “pure” than PDE during my master’s degree, I would say the following: You have many possibilities, but you might have to rebrand yourself a little.

    I went into a government job (DM me for details as I am already too identifiable). I was really unsure about going the PhD route or not, and ultimately opted for what I thought would make me the most happy. I am pretty sure it was right for me, though it is a little bittersweet in retrospect.

    In my opinion the people matter more than the place, and with sufficient freedom and autonomy a mathematician can make any task interesting. Think about how you can make your skills useful for other things than pure maths (in a manner you could also enjoy) and sell yourself to an employer on that premise.
