If anybody needs a sink I have a stainless double sink and also one of these hipster sinks below that I have never used. If anyone wants it pm me, you have to get both though. Sister gave it to me long time ago for xmas and never used it, be good for someone

For these reasons I use a Lifetime 4ft folding table with adjustable legs and a hardwood or teflon cutting board. Plastic and Teflon cutting boards have less pores to trap bacteria. A piece of plywood is the worst thing to use. The grains in the wood are not tight and bacteria can penetrate. Fish contain scombroid, ciguatera, and tetrodotoxin poisoning. The poisons are seldom severe and will effect you within an hour of consumption. Hey guys bleach your surfaces and knife before and after cleaning your fish and you should be fine.
The problems most people do is not properly ice the fish after the catch and cross contamination. Once the fish is taken from the water bacteria starts its growth process. You cannot stop it but can slow it down. Remember treat fish like chicken. Never use a raw surface for a cooked product. And for you sushi lovers. Sushi grade fish has been frozen for a minimum of 7 days to kill bacteria. The trick to the quality is to freeze quickly and defrost slowly.

Double bag it and it will just be starting to stink when the trash truck rolls around. Clean all my fish in the hood, and chunk the scraps in my can.

Cool, an even better idea. Usually I clean fish at home on a plastic cutting board or at my buddy's wharf on a piece of plastic and throw the heads in the lake. There are a few seagulls around but no pelicans. 10% bleach seems like a good idea.

Raymond, before using plywood, you might wanna seal it with several coats of polyurethane, or, even better...pour some epoxy over it. I'd buy the fiberglass/plastic from WallyWorld, tho.

I appreciate this discussion. We use Calcasieu Point a lot and sometimes other fish cleaning stations. We are considering either a cutting board or a scrub pad and dish soap. I am leaning toward the scrub pad and dish soap. A cutting board would have to be washed before and after each use anyway, so would not reduce the need to cart around the dish soap and scrub pad. Most of the fish cleaning stations we use can be made usable with less than five minutes of soap and water.

Bleach as a disinfectant is really only effective on surfaces that are reasonably non-porous and that have been scrubbed with soap and water first anyway. You can't really sterilize a surface with bird poo on it with a bit of bleach without scrubbing away the bird poo first. The bleach will probably get the last 1% of the germs, but the soap and water are needed to remove the 99% of the germs and the bulk poo (and any other fish goo) first.

If you can find a place that sells industrial rubber and gasket making materials they usually have teflon in bulk. Just get them to cut you a teflon cutting board of your desired deminsions.

Removing 99% of the poo is correct, but I think you have it backwards for the germs.

This is what I have at my camp for cleaning fish. I used a big piece of Starboard that I bought off of Ebay as the top. The Starboard covers the entire top up to the sink. I don't have a finished picture of it with the top on my computer. I'll try to remember to take a pic next time I'm home.

Bleach Kills everything on contact, just need to rinse off prior to cleaning fish.

I wouldn't think so, if the cleaning board is kept behind the seat of your truck or the back of the suv then it might get a little dusty at best if left there all the time but a quick rinse and your ready to clean fish or not even that if you just bring it only when you go fishing.

bringing a cleaning board with you means the only cleaning you need to fo would come after your finished cleaning fish and since it would all be fresh and not stuck on, a quick rinse down with a little soap then spray some bleach on it after to kill and any bacteria that might still be there and that is all it would take.

if your in a car or suv then its the same situation but you would want to leave the board in the boat to finish drying off on the way home.

I don't see scrubbing poop as being "simpler" or "easier" by any stretch of the imagination.

toi each his own but even if the cleaning you do works out to be equal with either option then I prefer the option where im not cleaning bird poop that can have all sorts of nasty bacteria to make you sick. like it or not you can never get anything completely clean, it just looks that way.

That's what I was getting at. Soap doesn't kill anything. Even so called antibacterial.

lol, pretty much the same here, I just use a 2'x3' piece of 3/4 plywood I toss onto my tailgate and I just hose it off when im done, no soap no bleach no nuttin and its always clean and free of bacteria. im not going to argue with anyone about how terrible wood is but its been THE tool of choice for cutting boards for 100 sumptin years.

mamma always said "what don't kill ya just makes you stronger"
