Fish scales need to be removed from fish where the fish cut such as a darne or a small whole fish such as grilled herring are to be served with the skin on.
After washing the fish, scape the fish from tail to head against the lay of the scales. Hold the filleting knife or office knife with the blade perpendicular to the fish and scrape to remove the scales. De-scaling, the removal of scales using a filleting or office knife
