How to Clean and Dress Fish

"Most fish sold in markets are cleaned and dressed. But sometimes you will have to do this yourself."

You know, I'm just going to get this out of the way now.

Nope

Not gonna happen

This isn't a pleasant thing to do. I have done it. It is Stinky, Sticky, and Scaly.

One wrong move and you ruined dinner.

But here is how our Almanac suggests you prepare your fish:

Scaling

Here is a video showing how easy it is!

You know, for guys complaining about glitter from lady crafts, fish scales are like the glitter of fishermen.

You basically take your knife and carefully scrape from the tail to the head of the fish and scales just pop off. They fly everywhere.

Cleaning

Prepare to just gag now.

Cut open the fish from the vent to the head and take out the insides.

Then cut out all the fins.

Filleting

Here is a guid to what is described below.

You basically cut down the backbone of the fish then cut the flesh away from the fish, cutting away from the ribs and the backbone.

Skinning a Filett

Fish doesn't have to be skinned to be cooked and served. Some people just prefer it.

Put your fillet on the cutting board with the skin side down.

Cut down the flesh to the skin.

Turn the knife flat against the skin and cut the skin away from the flesh.

...

You know I love fish.

I love them fried, sautéed, baked, and raw.

I think I will leave these cleaning processes to the professionals!

I don't mind paying them a little extra so I don't have to deal with fish glitter, guts, and picking bones out of my fish steaks.

Stuffed Lamb Cushion for Easter "Lamb is a traditional food for Eater. The lamb is a symbol of Jesus. In John 1:29 Jesus is referred to as "The Lamb of God", who takes away the sin of the world." Lamb is also a traditional Passover meal. In the book of Exodus, God was determined to save His people from their captivity in Egypt. The last plague He sent to Egypt was the death of the firstborn. God commanded that His people take an unblemished lamb, kill it, and but the blood of the lamb on their door post. This would be a sign for the Angel of Death to "passover" the house and not strike their firstborn. It would be after their freedom from slavery that God would institute traditional sacrifice for sins that would involve a lamb. Jesus' last supper was the Passover meal. He and His disciples ate lamb before He instituted the new covenant, teaching His disciples to remember Him in communion. Jesus would go on to be betraye

"Is There a Doctor in the House?" "Medical emergencies may occur at ay time, especially with young children. Prepare ahead of time by knowing exactly what you will do if it becomes necessary to get medical assistance quickly." Let's just sum up this blog post. AMERICAN HEALTHCARE SUCKS I hate doctors and their offices and their bills. This broken system we have is why "natural" remedies are becoming popular. We choose something other than a professional to treat us because our insurance won't cover services or the doctor might just misdiagnose us and throw meds at us. I'm sure this isn't everyone's experience. It has been mine for years. I had a good doctor once. If you want good medical services it will cost you. Remember when you could just go to a doctor? Now you have to make an appointment months in advance. If you need same day service, go to Urgent Care. If you are experiencing an
