original test drive of the SKINZIT!!

CAUGHT A dozen fish at cypress this morning and was excited to try out my new skinzit. worked great. really sucks them rib bones out. only complaint was that it got all gunked up several times. had to clean it halfway through cleaning the fish.

i had brody take a few videos. sorry for the bad camera angle.

check these out.

Cool Mark! I wonder if running it through some water after using it a bit would help it from getting gunked up. I do that with my electric knife sometimes.

I'd be scared i'd slip and skinzited my finger. :yikes

I assume that you have to filet the fish with an electric knife before you use the Skinzit?

yes, but instead of flipping it over and peeling the skin off, you just cut the skin past the tail.

Seems like an extra step. Why take off the filet when you can do it complete in seconds?

The biggest advantage is I can remove the rib bones and leave the belly meat intact. Filets don't look like an apostrophe they look like a triangle.

I guess to each his own, but in my humble opinion, this thing might be like the old saying, "Too much candy for a nickel." I just can't see an advantage over the way I am cleaning my fish now, especially since I have to have an electric knife anyway. Maybe I'll have a different view after seeing it in action at the gathering. If not, and I win one of them, I'm up for a trade. LOL.

I don't keep enough fish to use one...sometimes my filet knife is not cost effective...:)

Guys, lets all remember what Doc, and the other members, go through to get us VERY NICE prizes every year. If you don't like the prizes than don't pick one but the old saying "If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all" comes to mind. I am not trying to be ugly to anyone and I am not aiming this statement at anyone. Let us all be appreciative of what Doc and the other members go through for this once a year event.

good job Doc...thanks

the door prizes are totally your pick. when your name gets drawn just pick another prize. and if the skinzits are the only thing left, i will trade with you or buy it from you even though i already have one. wouldn't want anyone unhappy with their free prize.

doc :)

I REALLY do appreciate everything everyone does to get the door prizes each year. I know it takes a lot of time and hard work and I didn't mean to sound unappreciative. If I offended anyone please forgive me; that was not my intention. I realize everyone has a choice of the prize they want and was just trying to interject a little lighthearted humor with the "trade" statement. I guess the humor didn't quite come across as I intended over the internet. I apologize.

Seems like the best way to use it would be to fillet all your fish then follow up using the Skinzit to finish the job. Or like we do at the gatherings, create a dis-assembly line, where some do the filleting and others do the skinning.

doc :)
