I would like to change this from cleaning perch to cleaning Tilapia if u guy don't mind me asking. I clean fish different ways for different fish, sometimes cleaning where only meat is left for eating and sometimes leaving the skin on (after scraping the scales off). I do this sometimes with brim and crappie. So my question here is what is the preferred way to clean a Tilapia? I have read that if the stomach and or the intestinal juices touch the meat it will harm the flavor of the meat. Anyone? I have several methods of filleting, but the fastest is using elec knife down the spine and that would cut into the stomach and intestine area. This fall I may be cleaning a lot of these fish, so what are the best or fastest way to clean without harming the flavor of the fish?
Thanks
Tracy
