Undesirable Job #5

A word of caution to those who innocently buy fresh fish at the supermarket. If you don't request it, they don't gut or scale the fish for you. My friend and I learnt this the hard way last night while unhappily scaling some bream. As I used a make-shift scaler to remove the nasty stuff, I was damn glad that I didn't work at the fish market. Imagine sloshing around in slimy dampness all day gutting and scaling fish, getting all sorts of disgusting stuff in your hair and clothes and eternally smelling fishy.

Glad it ain't me.
