    1:20 You can fill the sink with water to prevent scales from flying off everywhere 🤷

    I really think you didn’t have to scale the fish since you don’t cook it with the skin.

    You need to scale it (at least the top and the bottom of the fish) or else it will be very difficult to fillet it. Bone fish have big scales. The scales are like armor, which makes it difficult for the knife to cut through when trying to fillet. Also, if you scale it before cutting it there is much less chance that scales will end up in your fishcake.

    Bonefish is for sport fishing as fly fishing not for food…

    Scale the fish under water then you don't have to worry about scales going everywhere.

    Toothpaste method more bettah. Remove the head, remove the guts, then freeze. Unfreeze, and then use a rolling pin and you can just toothpaste out the meat only.

    @@lisarichardson8060 Scaling under fresh water ruins the meat, especially oio. If you scale under water, it needs to be done at the beach in salt water.

    The scale will come off in the meat you can leave the scale but you will have to pick them out.

    Also VERY hard to fillet with the scales on. The scales are very thick. Knife cannot slide through as easily with the scales on.
