Abstract: The present invention is comprised of a fish filet device comprised of a body further comprised of a first end and a second end, a grip and a wrist strap. The wrist strap can be secured around the wrist of the user during use, such that the device cannot be dropped. The second end is further comprised of a plurality of teeth that can be used to secure the device into the skin of a fish. In this manner, a user can press the device into a fish using his or her non-dominant hand, in order to secure the fish and prevent the fish body from sliding on a cutting surface, while fileting the fish with a knife in his or her dominant hand.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming a sealed joint comprises a joint member having at least one elongate component that comprises a top surface, a bottom surface, a first component side and a second component side, wherein at least a portion of the top surface has a contour which is curved. In forming a joint a first member is formed on a substrate. The joint member is positioned against the first member. A second member is formed on the substrate immediately adjacent to the joint member. In some embodiments the joint member comprises two components, one of which is removed following formation of the second member.
