A Fisherman's Guide To Choosing The Right Fish Cleaning Table

By Edward Cole


Going out on the water to catch your supper can be fun and exciting. Once you get your catch back to land, however, there is much more work to be done. Most types of fish will need to be skinned and have their bones removed in order to get them ready to eat. A fish cleaning table can provide a stable, easy to clean work surface that will make your job much easier. Here are some tips you can use when shopping to make sure you get the right one for your needs.

A separate cleaning table can be a wonderful thing. When you are removing the skin and bones from fish your work area can get quite slimy and messy even if you are working with very fresh fillets. You want to make sure that you are getting a model that has a surface that can be hosed down with as little effort as possible. This can make it very easy to clean up afterwards.

Your height will help determine what model will be best for your needs. Bending over to clean fish is not always fun and can lead to a lot of back pain. If you can, try standing next to a model and bend over like you would when you were working. If you are comfortable, pay attention to the height listed on the packaging. Then you can find similar models that may have other features you want.

A water source can be a great feature to look for. That way the fillets can be rinsed off after and checked for bones or stray scales. Just make sure you can attach a hose or other water source to your table or this feature may not always be available.

Where will you be cleaning your catch? Will you be working on your boat or will you be doing the work on land? There are models that will work well in either of these situations. If you prefer to do your filleting in multiple locations choosing a table that is portable and that can adjust to different conditions will be a good idea.

A model that can grip onto your fish as you work can be a good choice. That way you can work with both hands when skinning your catch. It can also help keep pieces from sliding around or falling off while you are cleaning them.

A model that can be collapsed down may be a good choice for you. This is especially true for models that will be taken on boats or for individuals with limited storage areas to stow their gear in. Just make sure to pay attention to the size of the unit when it is broken down to make sure it will still fit in your home or on your boat.

If you are not sure where to start or if you want to compare models look online. There are many sites that sell these items. Check what the sizing is and what shipping costs will be since that may drastically increase the price of a particular model. You can also find them for sale in stores that offer hunting and gear.
