Cleaning a Whole Coho Salmon

This guide is for customers working with our Fresh Silver Salmon (Coho), 6–10 lb whole fish. If you purchased ready-cut Coho portions, this process is not necessary.

Tools

Use a stable cutting board, sharp fish or chef’s knife, kitchen shears if needed, clean towels and a clean work area.

Basic Process

  1. Keep the fish cold until you are ready to work.
  2. Scale if needed, working from tail toward head.
  3. Open the belly carefully without cutting deeply into the organs.
  4. Remove the viscera and clean the cavity thoroughly.
  5. Remove remaining blood along the backbone and pat the fish dry.
  6. Proceed to filleting, steak cutting or whole-fish preparation.

For portioning, see Fresh Silver Salmon Cutting and Coho Salmon Steaks.
