Hahahaha, I actually tried this method once. Do it in the garden, coz it is messy as hell. Had me mate hold a clear tub lid above the fish, cos there was scales flying everywhere. Very funny to watch.

I havent scaled a fish for more than 10 years - even small fish are skinned now. Can i ask why you want to scale it?

Hey nomad!
Just personal preference mate! Missus & i quite like our fish with skin on..
My wife is a chef and shes also asian.... Fish cooked whole is one of the main ways they cook..
especially crispy whole fish.... Doesnt cook up so crispy without skin..!
Going to order one of those commercial electric scalers i reckon...

Same here mate. We Asians like to either fry or steam the whole fish, minus the guts and gills of course. Only time we fillet is if, I actually catch something bigger than the wok. It's a bl..dy big wok, may I add. Lol

Ship stores have some stainless steel curved ones that are the best I have used. Will cost about $30 though.

I even bake my fish with the scales on and then just peel the skin and scales off
If you want crispy skin you have to scale ,I use a table spoon it works well

The one time in a blue moon that I scale fish I just use a fork.
