Review on 🐟 High Powered Cordless Electric Fish Scaler - Efficient Fish Scale Scraper Remover Cleaner Skinner Kit with 12V Rechargeable Battery Incorporated by Rachel Wilder

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Wow this thing is great easy quick technique explained:

I just got this and only tried it once but wish I had learned something like this a few years ago. I opened it up and was pleasantly surprised at how durable it seems. I had a batch of 35 fish including Florida Porgs, Cinnabar and Striped Bass, Triggerfish and used them properly. I've read reviews that said I have a light hand. That helped. It's pretty strong and if you press hard it will tear through the skin. It has a waterproof switch and a removable silicone plug that covers the charging socket with a second plug-like silicone plug. It says it's waterproof, but I wasn't sure if both would fail if water got into the charging port and washed out the device. I've seen some people say that when you climb underwater, the scales don't spread all over the place. But I decided it wasn't worth the risk and just did it outside on my stainless steel fish cleaning table. I noticed that the switch has two positions - pressing one side rotates the blades in the other direction, the center stop is off. Whether you are right-handed or left-handed, the fish is facing the opposite direction, or you want to flip the fish, you can control the rotation as needed. I turned over a bright red snapper, about 14 inches long, with soft, thin skin and fine scales. I turned it on and tapped the dandruff lightly and it was amazing like brushing hair except it removed all the dandruff easily and quickly with a few light taps in about 15 seconds! He spat them the other way and it would have been a mess inside but I just hosed down the cleanup area when I was done. I flipped it over and did the same against the fibers. The snapper has a dorsal fin with several sharp, stiff spines, and when the back moves, the blades catch them and jump. You have to be careful with your fingers as this is indeed a tool that should be safe if used properly, but hold on tight and watch out for those snaps on the slats. She. It was even better. It was like combing through the fine hairs on my balding head - nothing special! It took 10 seconds for each side and it was flake free! I don't usually clean most of my fish, I fillet and clean them, but smaller fish like this bass lose some flesh, become thin and don't taste as good as seared whole. I'm a seasoned filterer with 50 years of experience and you can read the basics of what I cut. But I'd like to keep them whole, but I hate scaling manually. Now I can choose both. I found the milling to be easier and with less scale. Much faster and worth it. I also leave the skin on the fillets, and I love the crispy fish skin sushi when I toast the skin to make it crispy like chicken skin. Delicious and makes great sushi rolls. Then I took on my next hardcore porg clients. They have very large, strong scales. She combed this thing straight away! Wow. Don't push too hard, touch lightly and walk TOGETHER with the scale as it rotates the other way against the scale. If you hit your pectoral or other fins, he might rip them off, but I don't care. The rear spikes will hook and jump, so be careful. I'll try to cut them with kitchen scissors on my next batch. I made a dozen 14-15 inch porgies in about 10 minutes! Maybe less. A perfect scaleless fish giving the fillet lots of nice skinless skin which I removed slightly leaving some to fry and hold together. Last time I used it on one of the three triggerfish without expecting it to do anything. Triggerfish are like turtle shells. I have a very sharp Rapala fillet knife that I have to pierce the skin with to pierce it. As expected, these scales didn't budge. But they are hardly any fish other than pike or anything armored. I wouldn't expect him to take them off and this leather is so tough it's like shoe leather and tortoiseshell together. But they're easy to skin, so I don't care. I mainly fish for snapper and other fish like porgs and it was amazing. I'll try to find someone to film my next game in about a month and post here sometime. But at the same time, I can't recommend this thing enough. I'm so glad I bought it. Longevity will be something I will talk about if it fails with proper care. But to be honest if I had a year of it it would cost me something. I assume it will last a lot longer. I don't think you need a larger blade, which is optional for this. This little one catches small scales and gets hit by big ones, like my porgs. No need for another one I'm sure. I recommend this thing like crazy. I am very happy with it. If I post a video you will see! But don't expect it - if you have a bunch of fish to clean this is the only way - worth every penny spent!
