A gutted fish is also called a dressed fish. The viscera (guts), gills, scales, and fins are removed. The chef may or may not remove the head and look at it whole with the fish. Backpackers find this tool extremely useful in the field. You can scale, gut, and keep fish fresher for the trek back to camp or the next rest stop.. On the outside is a convenient slicer so essentially this is three tools in one. This is awesome when outdoor temperatures are warm and the days sunny.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s up to the user, but the recommendation is to first scale the fish and slicing the belly to remove the guts. Made with 100% stainless steel this knife cleans up nicely and is machine washable.
