How do you clean a fish and not have to look at the icky stuff inside?

Answer 1

Actually, when I'm cleaning my fish, I have a hard time not eating the thing raw. Think "food" and it's easier.

Answer 2

I wouldn't bother cleaning the fish if you don't like all the icky stuff buy the fish from the supermarket or a fish monger it's already done for you.

Answer 3

The answerer Pepigop is right. Fillet the meat off the bones. Take the scales off first, then fillet the meat off from behind the gills down to the tail. You can feel where to fillet on the outside of the bones. No blood and guts. I fillet better if I am outside and have some lemons on hand to control the slipperiness and to refresh your hands. Learn from someone that has this skill and use a fillet knife, a long, slender bladed,slightly curved and flexible blade.You can do it!

Answer 4

Threes no easy way to clean a fish without looking at it and if it bothers you that much ask the person you are buying it off to prepare the fish for you. If you have caught it yourself, well I have to say, don't catch fish if you cant clean them.......
