Conundrum

Yes, cheeks don't have much weight so not much gain there for the cleaners. but they are so easy.. They should just charge a quarter per cheek. I bet you could do 6 per minute with practice, that would be $90.00 per hour ..lol

You should visit George Cutcher's fish cleaning when he is really busy! He would be losing money doing cheeks as he cleans average sized walleyes at a rate of at least 6 per minute. The big girls that have those large rib bones slow him up some though. There is a reason other than price that several charter businesses send their clients to him for cleaning services, fast excellent cleaning. That is why I do my cheeks before I take them to him. He probably raised his price $0.50 due to the number of electric knives he goes thru on walleyes. Perch he does with a fillet knife.
