I agree with you Wakina.. Hey, if someone wants to charge $10.00/per fish and people will pay it that is fine but I will not. I have an MBA and I know how business works. I just sort of like to clean my own fish and can likely keep up with most at the cleaning table cheeks and all. I like your idea of cuting them out prior, but I.have watched cleaners do their deal and its not.the same as when I do it with stripping and trimming the brown.
