Cleaning the fish
Fishing is a very relaxing and enjoyable way to spend a quiet day or two. However, beginners to this great sport and pastime tend to concentrate on learning how to fish. Normally this would be an admirable quality, and I thoroughly recommend it for beginners others as well. However, learning to fish not the beginning and the catch-all, one must also know what to do after having caught the fish.
Yes, folks, you have to clean the fish and intestines. I understand that for some, this seems like a task that would like to avoid, but for me it is just an integral part of fishing and outdoor life in general. You caught, you clean it. And if you want to learn how to properly clean the fish, I have provided some basic tips in this article just for you.
There are several ways to clean a fish. The easiest way would be to put it on its side and cut from the gills to the backbone via a strong knife. that, or if you prefer, you can cook fish until skin begins to loosen. When you remove the The entrails will be fine if you only add and remove the head. So you have to cut along the belly from gills to vent. The vent is the small anal opening near the tail of the fish. Scrape the inside spine of the fish to remove the vein blood. You can then rinse with cold water and skin of the skin, the dorsal fin easily follow.
You can also clean a fish by rinsing first with cold water and removing the scales. Remember, however, that not all fish should be de-escalation. Now, how to know if the fish has to be de-scale, or not? It's easy. Simply place the fish on the cleaning surface, then use the dull edge of a knife to a stroke or fish scale tail to the head. Use short strokes and knife position around a 90 degree angle. Now look at the balance. If they are large and flat, then your fish needs decalcification.
After removing the scales, cut from the gills to the vent. Open it and remove the entrails of the hand. Scrape along of the spine to remove the blood vein. You can use a spoon or your thumbnail to do this. Wash fish thoroughly with cold water. Now, if you are thinking of cooking whole fish, then you have to remove the dorsal fin. Cut the fish along both sides of the dorsal fin and pull with a pair of pliers. Wash fish again and that's it.
A few more things to remember. Before cleaning the fish, wash first with cold water, tap water if possible. Do not wash the fish in the lake or river, if you can help. Always use sharp knives to clean his fish, and always be careful when using knives. When you want to store the fish in a refrigerator full of ice, make sure the fish is not around in the water of melting ice. Place the fish so that water drains away from him, and the cavity must face down too. This is to prevent the pool of water inside the fish.
Now you know how to clean a fish. I have also written an article to teach beginners the bones and skin of their fish, so if you need any advice with that, please read it. Enjoy the fishing!
