What is a fish scaler used for?

A fish scaler is used to remove scales from whole fish before cooking, filleting or serving.

How do I use this fish scaler?

Hold the fish steady and scrape from tail towards head with controlled strokes, rinsing away loosened scales as you work.

Is it better than using a knife?

It is more purpose-built for the job. Many people use a knife in a pinch, but a dedicated scaler gives better control and keeps knives for cutting.

What is it made from?

The KitchenCraft fish scaler is made from aluminium with raised sections for removing scales.

Is it dishwasher safe?

No. This fish scaler should be handwashed and dried after use.

Is it suitable for anglers?

Yes. It is useful for anglers who prepare their own catch, as well as home cooks who buy whole fish.

Will it fillet the fish as well?

No. This tool is for removing scales. You will still need a suitable knife for gutting, trimming or filleting.

When should I scale fish?

Scale the fish before cooking or filleting when the recipe or serving style needs the skin left on but free from scales.
