I was wondering what the usual practice is for cleaning fish when you are out for 3 or 4 days. I have always removed the scales when I clean my fish before bagging them to put them on ice however, a commercial fishing buddy of mine suggested that the scales should be left on until you are ready to process the fish at home........ the theory being that the fish will retain their moisture better. Any thoughts about this? Thanks, SS
