Personally- http://www.nisbets.co.uk/Victorinox-Straight-Boning-Knife-12.5cm/C673/ProductDetail.raction . The metal's quite soft, which means it can loose it's edge quicker than others, but can get it back again very easily. Also a strong pair of scissors, if you are going for flat fish. Add a normal kitchen knife, and a serrated/bread knife, and should be able to deal with anything.

I'll usually buy whole Seabass, or haddock but am hoping the purchasing of a decent fillet knife will mean I can get some different fish on the go, lemon sole etc.
I've done the billingsgate thing a couple of times and I'd like to do so again and being able to gut and fillet fish, whilst keeping as much flesh from the bin as possible is a must.
Budget is reasonable, £30 or thereabouts, could go higher but probably wouldn't for a blade that isn't going to be my main kitchen knife.
