That is more blowfish than I care to clean !

Took well over two hours. My hand were shredded!

Sean use surgical gloves next time. Believe it or not they will hold up pretty well to blowfish.

gotta use a fork.

Blowfish tongs work the best, just cut from the head down through the backbone to the belly meat behind just behind the ears, bend and squeeze the body until the meat peeks out, grab the head with a gloved hand, grab the meat with the tongs and pull in both directions, flip the meat into a cooler with ice and the junk in a bucket. I was timed, 47 blowfish in 20 minutes and no puffy hands.

Although I was not timed cutting the meat from the backbone, as I was drinking beer at that time. Ken

I agree with Ken, High Risk II, use the glove and tongs. I use a fish cleaning glove made special for the task. I noticed that my left index finger was burning and I realized I had wore a small hole in the tip of the finger. I still have a mark on my fingertip! I can only imagine how bad your hands ended up. By the way, the beer does help! Great catch. The blowfishing has been phenomenal lately! Enjoy!!

I used the grippers that Brian sells on garbagefish.com. They work great. I could not find them and started to fillet by hand. After about 10 I ripped the house apart and found them. Made life much easier, but the damage was done.

We made good work of them and they taste great. Have already ate a good portion : ) Thanks for having me out Sean.

Hey Outdrdave. If ya can text me about where I might run the lil boat out sun. I got a few chum logs in the frezz i want to use up.

Wow, what a day! A fish cleaning glove for my non-cutting hand and pliers help keep my hands from getting totally mauled.
