How to descale and clean Fish ( How to gut fish ) How to clean and prepare fish before cooking.

In this video on how to descale and clean fish, I will show you how to gut fish step by step including how to descale a fish - I will show you how to clean and gut a Bass before cooking.

After gutting the fish I will show you my favorite way of cooking Bass with a very easy Bass recipe that can be used for any fish.

How to gut a fish can be daunting for some so I hope this video showing how to gut a fish step by step will help more people enjoy cooking fresh fish when they know how to gut a fish for themselves.

Here are the steps on how to clean, gut and prepare a fish before cooking:

Firstly you need to descale the fish if necessary by scraping a knife in the opposite direction of the scales ( tail towards the head ) on both sides of the fish.

When descaling a fish either descale the fish over a sink or over some paper to catch all the scales because they do tend to fly and could end up all over your kitchen.

Once you have descaled the fish it's time to clean the fish ( gut the fish ).

Turn the fish over and you will see a vent towards the back half of the fish, insert a sharp knife, and cut towards the head stopping just after the fins on the side.

The cavity of the fish is now open exposing the fish guts, simply drag the fish guts out from the cavity with your knife.

When gutting a fish you can either leave the fish head-on or off, if you choose to remove the head then cut at an angle just behind the pectoral fins towards the back of the head - flip the fish over and repeat the cut. As the head is removed any additional fish inners are removed with the head.

If you want to retain the fish head on the fish for the cooking presentation then just insert your fingers into the open stomach cavity and pull out any guts that did not initially come out when you scraped them out after that first incision.

It's that simple to clean, gut and prepare a fish before cooking - once the fish has been descaled and gutted just rinse the fish under cold water and it's now ready to cook.

Once you know how to gut a fish you are able to gut any variety of fish - gutting fish is very easy to do and once you wash your hands afterwards it's all good.
