Evisceration Steps

• 1.) Hold the fish vertically, head up.
• 2.) Insert the knife in the anus and cut the length of the

  belly to the throat.
• 3.) Insert the knife through the soft tissue between the gills and collarbone and cut outward, perpendicular to the belly.
• 4.) Grasp the entrails and pull them out.
• 5.) Cut off the head.
• 6.) Wash the fish in cold water. The kidney (blood line

  which follows the backbone) may be removed during washing by using the thumb or a spoon.
