Candling Tables?????
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'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.

kinda like
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  |

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. |

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,
