It has been years since my grandfather showed me how to clean fish. Maybe PondBoss can include an article (with pictures) on how to clean different kind of fish, please.
Mesquite, welcome to the forum. There are a lot of great videos on youtube.com on how to clean a fish about any way you would like.
Mesquite, welcome to the forum. If you get to watch "Deadiest Catch", you may want to pay attention to how the guys from Norway process a herring. It is pretty simple and does not require any expensive tools. Good luck.
