Perch is a tasty fish, but difficult to cut. It is usually easier to catch than to clean, unless you know some secrets that allow you to remove the scales quickly, easily and without dirt.

Method 1: Scalding


This method allows you to remove the scales while preserving the skin, which is important when frying fish, since the skin gives a crispy crust. To do this, you need to boil water and pour boiling water over the fish on each side.

Method 3: Clean without defrosting


If the first two methods are applicable to fresh fish, then the third is designed for frozen fish. The fish is taken in the palm of the left hand with its belly down and its head away from you. Then the dorsal fin is cut off with a sharp knife. The blade must be pulled towards you and drawn from the end of the head to the very tail.
