| Steak - | Fish is cut crossways so there are bones in steaks. Tail piece is cut fillet style; it has no bones. |
| Fillet - | Fish is cut lengthwise so you end up with 2 sides, only bones left in will be the pin bones. |
| Bookstyle - | Fish is cut with the head, fins, and center bone out, opens up like a book. Real good way to do if you want to stuff it. |
| Cater - | Like a Bookstyle cut with the head, fins, and tail left on so that it looks like a whole salmon. This is a nice way to do if you want to use it as a centerpiece on your table. |
| Whole - | Not cut at all. |
