"No Mess" Automatic Fish Scaler

"No Mess" Automatic Fish Scaler FARM HOME Food 31-4-33 If you like to catch pan fish but don't like cleaning what you catch, you'll like this portable, automatic "fish scaler" that lets you easily clean up to 50 fish at a time. The electric-operated Slick Skin Fish Scaler III measures 29 in. long by 19 in. wide and weighs 25 lbs. It consists of a stainless steel drum with a large door for easy loading and unloading of fish. A shaft inside the drum rotates a de-scaling device. Large holes in the drum allow the scales and slime to wash away from the fish and into a poly tub partially filled with water. "It's a quick, convenient, hassle-free way to clean fish," says Mike Rakovits, Wedge Outdoors, Inc., Muskegon, Mich. "You just dump the fish in the drum, close the door, and flip a switch to activate the unit. In just 10 minutes all your fish will be completely scaled and slime-free. It cleans so well that commercial fishermen use it for the restaurant industry. When you're done you take the fish out, stand the drum up, rinse out the holes and put it away. "It's designed for for bluegills, crappies, perch, and other panfish but will also handle larger fish up to 15 inches long. The fish are easy to handle because all the slime is cleaned off as are the scales." Sells for $299 plus S&H. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Wedge Outdoors, Inc., 735 W.
