If you hate the mess that comes with descaling fish, this simple plastic bag trick will change your life! No flying scales, no extra cleanup—just a quick and clean way to get the job done.
🔹 What You Need:
✔ 1 fresh fish
✔ 1 sturdy plastic bag (grocery or ziplock bag)
✔ A knife or spoon (optional)
🔹 Step-by-Step Method:
1️⃣ Place the fish inside the plastic bag. Make sure there’s enough space to move your hands inside.
2️⃣ Hold the fish firmly through the bag and use your other hand to rub the scales off using:
- The dull side of a knife
- A spoon
- Even just your fingers!
3️⃣ The bag will trap all the scales, preventing them from flying around your kitchen.
4️⃣ Once done, simply remove the fish and throw away the bag—no mess, no cleanup!
🔥 Why This Works So Well:
✅ No Mess – Scales stay inside the bag, making cleanup effortless.
✅ Less Slippery – The bag helps grip the fish better.
✅ Quick & Easy – Works just as well as a knife but with zero cleanup hassle.
💡 Bonus Tip: If you don’t have a plastic bag, try using a coarse sponge under running water for a similar mess-free effect!
