tried one once a while ago. More of a PIA than they are worth. I can fillet much faster and better with a sharp filleting knife.

My father had one when I was a kid - I've been terrified of them ever since 
(or it might have been a meat cutter, I don't care, but it still scares the bleep out of me) |

JOHN!!!! My mother had used an electric knife to carve turkey one year when I was a kid and nearly took her finger clean off. I will never forget how terrified I felt and will never use one because of it to this day!
All this being said...I dont see why anyone would want one if they have a good quality fillet knife and keep up on the sharpening of it. I also think you would have better "feel" on a regular knife for working along the backbone. |

Get yourself a nice serrated edged knife, this is my goto for going through scales/skin then switching to the fillet knife. Will definitely work much better than electric...

 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

I've seen some guys that can absolutely rip through fish like crazy with one. But the rechargable ones (Piranna) and smaller FW fish.
I would go with a 120V for SW fish.
But I agree with all... just use a good sharp knife.
How many are you cleaning anyway?
