Anyone here ever build or purchase a fish candling table? I am thinking one would be helpful with groundfish, but I am struggling to find any info. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I don't even know what they are! :huh:

I'm baffled myself. Can you describe it?

I believe its an old term for a fillet table with a light source behind it. An old timer I know used to ask if the fillets I brought him were candled.

It means held up to a light to look for worms and bones.

I could be wrong, but that is what I always though it was.

I just Google'd it and found that candling tables are used to detect parasites or bones in a fillet. From what I can tell, you need a diferent bulb for each. Thanks for the info.

An no Slick Moedee, I don't know where you can purchase one and I've never built one either. Sorry.

when you hold a three inch round flashlight to your arm and the light allows you to see something similar to a red colored -> xray

a real bright light shown on the same arm from a distance won't illuminate the interior
structure quite so easy...hopefully you can understand my analogy :read:

Funny. Back in the 50s my Dad had an egg route. Sold eggs door to door and my brothers and I use to "candle" the eggs. I don't even remember what the hell we were looking for.:fury:

perhaps you were looking for overly developed chicken embryo's

that your Dad didn't want to be selling as an unfertilized egg

Raven, I asked my brother and he said you are correct.

Thanks,
Paul
