Prepare the body
First, wash the fish in cool running water
to remove any slime.
With a sharp knife, cut off the pectoral
fins on both sides of the fish.
Not all fish need scaling. If you're not
sure, run the blade of the blunt knife at almost
a 90 degree angle to the body from tail end to
head. If the scales are thick and come up
easily, you need to remove them. Continue until
the body is smooth.
