How to fill out fins amp scales

How to Fill Out Fins & Scales:

1. Gently rinse the fish under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris.
2. Pat the fish dry using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
3. Use a sharp filleting knife to remove the scales from the fish. Start at the tail and work your way towards the head, scraping the scales off in a downward motion.
4. Be sure to remove all the scales, taking care not to damage the skin.
5. After scaling, rinse the fish again to remove any loose scales.
6. Move on to remove the fins. Use a pair of kitchen scissors or a sharp knife to cut the fins at the base, where they meet the body of the fish.
7. Start with the dorsal fin, followed by the pectoral fins, pelvic fins, and finally the anal fin.
8. Some people may also choose to remove the adipose fin, which is a small fatty fin located on the back of certain fish species.
9. Once all the fins are removed, rinse the fish once again to remove any leftover scales or fin pieces.
10. Proceed with your desired cooking method, whether it be grilling, baking, frying, or any other technique.

2. Chefs, both professional and amateur, who prefer to work with fresh fish and want to prepare it themselves.
