How to clean a fish

Keep wet and cool.

Keep your catch wet and cool until you clean and gut it.

With your knife, hold the fish firmly and scrape off the scales on both sides.

Start at the tail and move towards the gills- don't press to hard.

Gut the fish.

Gently, insert a knife into the small hole located above the tail fin- only breaking the skin and cut towards the head.

Pull out the internal organs with your fingers.

Scrape and rinse until all the insides and blood have been removed.

Rinse and repeat for all catches made.
