Catch fish??Originally Posted by Conner
Wife got a new kitchen sink and it came with a oak cutting board. She gave it to me to use to clean fish on. Is there something special that you do to break it in before using it. Conner

Oil it. Rub a good cooking oil in it and let it soak a few days before you use it. - Roberta

Yes, they are just like cast iron skillets, you bury them in the hot ash of a rip roaring camp fire 2-6 hours to "season" them, then rub them down with Bacon fat.Originally Posted by Conner
I would not take this boys advise if you want to keep your cutting board and I think Roberta had the best idea. Why would you bury a Oak cutting board in coals?Originally Posted by VietVet68
Yuh don't reckon that "boy" might of been jesting just a little?Originally Posted by Drift_Wood
Actually, mineral oil would be your best bet for your board. Rub it in, let it soak in a few days, then repeat.

Yes, I fish like a girl. If you tried a little harder, you could too!!
howdy; roberta is on right track. my prefrence is to use a good quality olive oil. set cutting board in a sheet cake pan and cover it with the oil of your choise, let the oil soak in for 2-3 days. wipe off excess oil. ready to slice/dice/chip/chop. when ever you see a section drying out take a kitchen towel soak in your oil of choise and let it sit on dry spot over night. don't forget to count your fingers every once in awhile. :D lol tarfu
This may be off the subject a little, but one of my old friends gave me a little tip and it worked pretty damn good. To scale a fish, clamp it down, or hold it and then hit it with some high pressure water from the tail to the head. The scales come right off. I used a regular garden hose with a nozzle on it. Any one else use this technique?
