For those of you who have never cleaned a fish here is one way of doing it.

Nice step-by-step! Good photography too.

Took me a couple tries to teach my son last weekend - probably could have done it quicker with pictures.

My dad took me out and had me catch about 40 pearch and practice and did this 3 or 4 times before he let me do it on any other fish.

papasage, Do you think the ribcage could have been on the other side?

Yes, I just slide the blade between the ribs and meat and slice it off.

That's the way I like doing it. It sure beats scaling them.
