Step-by-Step Guide to clean snapper with The GloveScaler™

Step 1: Rinse the Snapper Rinse the fish under cold water to remove any slime or debris. This will make it easier to grip and scale.

Step 2: Put on The GloveScaler™ Slide on The GloveScaler™ on your dominant hand. The teeth on the palm and fingers are designed to mimic traditional scaling tools—minus the hassle.

Step 3: Grip the Snapper Use your non-dominant hand to hold the snapper firmly by the tail or mouth, depending on your preference and fish size.

Step 4: Start at the Tail, Work Toward the Head Using firm, short strokes, begin scaling from tail to head. You’ll see the scales lift easily without flying everywhere, thanks to the controlled motion and glove texture.

Step 5: Use Finger Precision for Fins & Curves The GloveScaler’s finger teeth allow for precision scaling around delicate areas like fins, under the belly, and the collar.

Step 6: Flip and Repeat Flip the snapper and repeat the process on the other side. If needed, give the fish a quick rinse mid-way.

Step 7: Final Rinse & Pat Dry Once fully scaled, rinse the snapper one last time to remove any loose scales, then pat it dry for filleting or cooking.

Pro Tips from the Pros:

• GloveScaler works great on wet or slippery fish—so don’t worry if your snapper isn’t fully dry.

• Tackle the belly scales last. They tend to be more delicate and easier to miss.

• Keep a bowl of water nearby to dip your glove and prevent clogging from loose scales.

• Always scale before gutting. It’s neater and helps avoid contamination.

• The GloveScaler is washable and reusable—just rinse and hang dry after each use.
