Do this 3X then soak 3X again in plain water. I use refrigerated water the last time or two to start the cooling process.
I do fatty fish Buffalo and large Catfish similar. I run one sink full off hot water with 1/4 cup salt and 1/2 cup vinegar. The other sink l fill with ice and water. Wash trimmed and cut up fish in hot water for a couple minutes and then toss into ice water letting soak for about 10 minutes. You will not believe how much fat and crud is left behind in the water.
Sometimes soaking in a pan of cold water with a spoon of salt and a little lemon juice will improve the rest.
