Open the gill cover of the fish to expose the gill. A fresh fish will have bright red gills.
Pull the gill cover as wide open as possible.
The gill is arc shaped, so slip your finger underneath.
With a pair of scissors, snip the gill off at the bottom of the chin of the fish.
Carefully pull the gill to remove the guts of the fish. Discard. Remove the gill from the other side.
