Bleeding fish makes a big diffrence in the color and taste of the fish, big or small...when Im commercial Bottomfishing all my fish are bleed and brined in slush ice..Makes a diffrence in the $$$ also..

How do you properly bleed a fish?

[swell rider]

Not an amature question at all..I rake (cut) the gills so the fish will continue to pump blood out and not die from sticking him in any vital oragan. Some guys cut the nap which seperates the chin from the gill area but if your selling these fish commercial as I do sometimes the higher end markets likes to see the head intacked. Overall better product when you go to eat them.
