cleaning fish is too much work for the return on investment
>dad says hes bringing fish for me to cook
>expect store bought filets
>its fresh caught and he expects ME to clean them (currently in the middle of a heatwave)
i dont care what sort of farm raised abomination injected with super steroids it is, i will take it any day over having my porch and myself smell like a harbor while finding fish scales for the next month. i just thank god there wasnt any catfish this time.

That's why you buy/keep the bigger fish. It's not so bad, I take a giant bag, go on the balcony and clean it there.

Those are descaled and gutted.

Descaling is more work and messier than filleting.

What's so bad about cleaning fish? Pair of scissors in the belly (for smaller fish, anyway; otherwise, use a knife), scoop out the innards, give it a rinse and scrape of the scales, if necessary. It takes just a few minutes per fish and smaller ones often don't need scaling

This is why you dont fillet the fish yourself, catching them is a man's job, leave that to the women to scale and fillet the then to cook them

Fish shouldn't have one. Get better fish. Out do you mean specifically the smell of the fats in oily fish, like mackerel? Cuz I love mackerel and pilchards but I hate the smell of the oil on my hands after cleaning it because it lingers. The fish itself has no odour, though.

That's kinda how it was done in my family. That's why I recommended scissors; my mother was never comfortable gutting fish with a knife so she used surgical scissors my aunt, a surgeon, would bring her. I use s knife for medium sized and larger fish, like Atlantic blue or large mackerels but for something like a sardine, blowfish or fresh anchovy, I'm using scissors.

I can dig it if you're not usually cleaning fish. I eat lotsa fish so I'm always ready to hit that shit. Use a pair of stainless steel tubs, a rubbish bag and a sink full of water. Take fish from tub, gut it, discard into bag, shake the fish in the water to clean it and place in the opposite tub. Repeat as necessary. As for scaling, that can be messy without good technique and that sadly takes a while to learn with a knife. Get a rasp.
Or just don't bother if you don't wanna.

After posting this, I asked AI and apparently, it's because I wash with hot water, essentially cooking the smell into my hands

Depends what you mean. Good fish smells like seaweed. Honestly, I kinda smell cucumber sometimes as I prep fish. If the fish smells "fishy", it's not great quality. Does sushi smell?

yeah me and my family dont really fish as much as we used to so its not something i do very often anymore. the way my mom taught me was to take a big pot, some newspapers and a bag for the guts, go as far away from the house as possible, and start cleaning. i never bothered with a knife since the fins would poke me enough so id just use a spoon.
>Or just don't bother if you don't wanna
ive never met anyone who cooks fish without scaling them. from the few scales i would get i assumed it would have a weird texture.

My pops taught me to filet with blue gill.
These days he doesn't scale them. Filets it then cuts the skin and scales in one slice.
I wish i had a mess of blue gill like that

Take five minutes to watch a YouTube video, another five minutes to get a feel for it, bam, you can filet a fish. It's really not that much skill to it, get a sharp knife, keep it sharp, easy peasy.

this almost makes me want to give fish another try, for some reason i've never liked the taste, except for freshly smoked eel and trout.
once a year, during christmas, i give salmon a try and last time it felt like it tasted better.

Funny. I like most fish except eel. I really don't care for it. The preparation doesn't matter, either. We either flour and fry it where I'm from or jelly it to serve as a salad. I didn't like Japanese grilled eel. I don't like smoked eel. I don't like eel.
But I'll absolutely destroy some fresh pilchards, mackerel, catfish, anchovies and more but eel is just… no.
