- Where do you cut a tuna to bleed? The pectoral cut is generally the best form of bleeding tuna. With the fish on its side, measure about the width of two fingers from the base of the pectoral fin along the lateral line. Make a shallow cut through the lateral line using a clean, sharp knife.
- "Do you have to descale a fish before you fillet it?" Always keep your hands behind the blade. To fillet a fish, lay it on its side on a flat surface. Unlike the cut described for preparing whole fish, filleting fish requires you to cut the fish behind its gills and pectoral fin, but only to the rib cage. Neither scaling nor removing the head is necessary.
- Can you cook fish without scaling? You can simply fry the fish, and the scales will only add to the crispiness. This is why the cooking method is also a factor when it comes to the question of scales. If the cooking method can make the scales more edible, then it is okay to not scale the fish.
- What is the last step in cleaning scaling fish? After you have removed all the scales you can with the knife, hold the fish under cold running water. The water should help get rid of any scales that are still on the fish. Keep rinsing until no scales remain.
- What are the 4 types of fish scales? There are four types of fish scales - placoid, cycloid, ctenoid (pronounced 'ten-oid'), and ganoid. Most bony fish have cycloid scales. Fish with cycloid scales have the same number of scales their entire lives - the scales enlarge to accommodate a fish's growth (scales that are lost to injury will be regrown).
- Do you have to scale trout? Scales do not need removed from a trout, but many people prefer to remove them due to the texture. Removing the scales from the trout may seem complicated, but the scales slide off the fish easily. Once you remove the scales, you can continue to clean and gut the fish so you can cook it.
