When I clean fish, I do it on top of my cooler. I slice and dice the fillets off, put them aside, then skin them. Then skin them. I rinse the top of the cooler off in between each step.
My question is this.
Once I skin them, before I rinse the cooler top off, there is always a yellowish color to the juice that is left on the cooler top.
Is this a normal/ natural discharge color from the striped bass meat???
I wouldn't worry about it .....I have those same experiences filleting bass but with no bad after effects.......practice FILLET AND RELEASE..........
