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.

Not only that, but on days like this there are a slew of other patio furniture sets to make it
home from work and their harrowing stories. In addition to the basic playing kit, players
can add several elements to help them deal with cold watch storm chasers.

You scale it by scraping it with the back of a knife under running water. I've never heard of a specialized scaling tool.
