Step-by-step Guide on how to peel off Fish Skin

1. Wash Your Hands

Firstly, always remember hygiene is important when preparing food (especially raw seafood). Washing hands before dealing with any ingredient guarantees general cleanliness.

2. Rinse and Pat Dry The Salted Fish

Next up, rinse your salted or fresh caught (gutted) fish under running water and pat dry using paper towels (never use a cloth towel which absorbs bacteria).

3: Cut Along Spine down until Tail Area

Using a cutting board surface as working space (never cut over raw meat on countertop) place your washed processed-fish belly up/mouth open towards/nose facing opposite direction from yours then insert knife along spine toward tail area.

Tip: If gutted properly at time of purchase catch hold of tail to make your knife cut easier!

4: Use Fingers to Distinctly Peel back Skin

Once you’ve made an indentation in the fish’s flesh, use your fingers or tweezers you may find it helpful to take a dry piece of paper towel and grip the skin while placing other fingers on meat, pulling skin from tail direction towards head until all lifted off.

Tip: throw used paper towels for safety measures!

5. Rinse Fish under Running Water
