Every woman is afraid of cleaning fish, I’m sure about that. It not only brings a feeling of fear when scooping, cutting, and gutting the fish to make it clean, but also the fishy odor lingers on your hands for days. That’s why even though fish is a nutritious food, rich in protein and fat, and can be prepared into various dishes, women still hesitate to “beautify” the fish themselves. At most, women will choose to buy pre-cut fish slices at the supermarket, even if the price is slightly higher than outside.
But do you know, if you are willing to search, you will find a way to clean the fish guts without having to touch it. Trust me because I have been cleaning fish this way for so many years. The intestines of the fish are clean and smooth and your hand won’t be smelly, and you can avoid the feeling of fear when you have to put your hand in and gut the fish.
Usually, you have to cut the fish belly to be able to remove the fish guts, right? From now on, you don’t have to do that, you just need to use your chopsticks, the ones you use to eat rice. I’m telling you the truth, no joke. You just need to prepare these things:
– A pair of chopsticks
– A knife
– Rubber gloves
– The fish
How to do it:
– Put on the gloves, locate the anus of the fish

– Use a knife to cut a short section (about 2 finger lengths) into that anus.

– Take the first chopstick, poke it from the fish mouth, separate the fish from its body, then push the chopstick into the fish’s belly. The chopstick must go close to the belly to separate the fish guts from the belly wall. Do the same with the other chopstick.

– Hold the fish tightly with one hand, and hold the chopsticks tightly with the other hand, then rotate them a few times to completely separate the fish guts from the belly wall, wrap the guts inside the chopsticks.

– While still holding the chopsticks and the fish, slowly pull the chopsticks out of the fish’s mouth. Now you will see the fish guts come out of the mouth along with the chopsticks.

– Rinse the fish under running water by pouring water into the fish’s mouth and then draining it. To make it cleaner, you can insert your finger into the cut part of the fish anus and scrub off all the black membrane inside the fish belly. Finally, wash until clean.

Do you see it? The fish intestines are clean and smooth and you don’t have to put your hand inside the fish anymore. Although this method requires you to practice and is difficult to apply to large fish, it is still very useful to remove the fish guts. You can try practicing and applying it.
