IMO if you want to go with the no-rinse method, which I do btw, you need to be extra careful when filleting to keep your knife clean and slime off the meat. I do a thorough de-slime and dry prior to filleting. wipe the knife anytime it comes in contact with skin, scales, or blood. use paper towel to blot any blood on the meat. careful not to let the fillet flip over meat side down onto the cutting surface or touch any skin. if the meat is cut from the bones with a clean knife and never touches anything, there's no reason you should need to wash it.
took the words right out of my mouth, extra few mins it takes on a fish is worth it imo
