Skinning them alive is stupid and unneccesary, which is why Flap advocates it. Better to just throw them in a bucket with some dry Kosher salt........kills them and gets the slime off in about 15".

I was going to comment on the skinning them alive method but didn't. A painless way to kill them is to put them in a bucket of water and slowly (over 10 -15 min.) add kosher salt. I think dropping them in dry salt would hurt them needlessly. Freezing them doesn't take that long either.
