Removing slime from river salmon and steelhead

[jackmaster]

if you just want the slime gone so you can handle them use little nickle news paper, works like a charm just wipe them down a few times, otherwise spraying them from tail to head is the best way

I cannot descale them on my property because I live in a housing development.  Wife and neighboors would not like that.  So I am looking for something I can run off my truck where I park or some place I can make a mess.

We usually take care of the fish at the river before coming home.  Keeps the mess out of the garbage can

I am going to give the bottle caps on a 2X4 a go.

i've never scaled any salmon or steelhead, or really any fish for that matter.  i don't like eating the skin, so i usually cut it off as part of the filleting process.

Have you ever eaten panfish like blue gills or crappie?  OMG, they are so much better tasting when eating the scaled filets with skin on than off!  The skin adds quite a bit of flavor.  I do not eat the skin of trout or salmon though.

I have never eating the skin of a steelhead or salmon.  That is what I target when I fish most of the time when I fish these days.

Loki, same with sanddabs.... A light descaling, skin on, cook and eat. Wonderful.

De-scale them on your lawn. Does the grass good and it dont leave a mess. Youd be surprised at how many neighbors wanna be your friend when youre scaling fish.
