Today I discovered that a simple plastic bag is all you need to scale fish – no flying scales, no dirty hands, just a clean and quick process. Ha Thu 19/09/2025 Share

Step 1: Place the fish inside the bag. Make sure it’s large enough to allow your hands to move comfortably inside.

Step 2: Hold the fish steady through the side of the bag with one hand. With the other hand, gently scrape off the scales using:

the back of a knife,
an ordinary spoon,
or even just your fingers.
Because the fish stays inside the bag, all the scales will be contained neatly instead of scattering around your kitchen.

Step 3: After descaling, take the fish out of the bag and simply toss the bag away—no splattered mess, no extra scrubbing required!

🔥 Why this method works so well:

✅ Less cleanup – the scales stay inside the bag instead of scattering on your counter
✅ Better grip – the plastic layer keeps the fish from slipping out of your hands
✅ Time-saving – faster cleaning with no need for extra scrubbing afterward

💡 Pro Tip: If you don’t have a bag available, try scrubbing the fish with the rough side of a sponge under running water. It’s much tidier than the old-fashioned way!
