Fast fish cleaners

[weekendwarrior]

Hello all been doing well on perch last couple weekends. I have been taking fish to bays edge, they have been doing a great job and time isn't too bad if you get there early. An older gentleman told me port Clinton fish house cleaned really fast. So I was hoping some of you had input on different fish cleaners and time it takes. Would like to sort more fish but am afraid of long wait since we live 1 hr 45 min away. Thanks for any input.

Port Clinton is fast. I think they have six cutters.
I got mine to them before noon though. I think all three places near by will be busy after the head boats and charters come in.

Depending on where you're willing to go, there are a couple cleaners near Davis-Besse. Shattos in wildwings cleaned 90 perch for us in an hour. Also heard good things about Cutchers.

It can take awhile at George Cutcher's cleaning service since he does 5 times or better work than the Shattos in back of Wildwings. People come from afar to get their fish cleaned at Cutcher's. Lots of Charters also. Personally I would never be in such a hurry that I would take my fish to Shattos, I would bury them in my garden first. There is no comparison between the 2. This of course is just my honest opinion. I have no financial affiliation with or for either fish cleaning service.

We just used them cause they were there. Didn't know of any others at the time. They did a decent job for us. Is there some thing we should know about Shattos?

Last time I used them was several years ago, I had dead blow flies and fly egg sacks in my cleaned fillets. They still clean outside and the potential for that to recur is there.

When they are really busy the catch sets outside where they are cleaning with fly's crawling all over the uncleaned fish that are waiting to be cleaned. As repulsive as fish cleaners can be this place is a step below unsanitary in my opinion. The people that run the business have always been friendly and cordial and it is not the personnel that makes me feel the way I do but is the conditions/environment in which they perform their task.

I really like straight, honest, answers, and appreciate them.

Wakina has given me good honest advise.

Thanks again, Dennis

Ahh yes, that all makes sense. Definitely didn't think about that. I'll be looking elsewhere next time.
