We are building a barn or a Country Kitchen. We'll have boat storage and a kitchen.

Does anyone have an inside fish cleaning station they like and would share your plans?

Thanks!

I prefer to do all of my fish cleaning outside. I can't imagine how bad that funk would linger inside. I'm very interested to hear your plan though. I bet cleaning them in the a/c would be a nice change from my tailgate and the garden hose!

F R Pirate, I've also done that all my life. The time has come to have a little air/heat and get out of the bugs. Scaling fish might be an outside job but to flay and skin a fish wouldn't be to nasty.

Just thought someone had one built they enjoyed and would share their idea.

Thanks for your comment.

SS saw a brief video on this place recently, they will do all sorts of things with King Starboard material so they would last forever. Great if you are interested in purchasing but also just some good ideas to look at. The "build your own top" looks like a good way to get a nice top without buying the legs/frame. I think they will build just about anything you want...

Personally I would want a sink that drained to a septic tank or dug in plastic 55 gallon drum set in a bunch of rock etc. to keep the stink down. Currently I just use one of those 4' plastic top tables with the legs that will let it adjust up so I'm not hunched over so bad.

Keep a LOT of vinegar available. Vinegar, if liberally applied, is great to cut fish slime and neutralize the fish smell. I also us a little in my water where I put my cleaned fish to cut the slime and clean the meat. The only inside cleaning stations I've seen were at fish markets. They seemed to use either fiberglass counters or stainless steel. Starboard is expensive, but it is the cat's meow.
