Problem: Article: This method is ideal for round-bodied fish, such as trout, tuna, and salmon. Try to get as close to the fish as possible. Leave the tail on for now. Run a fish scaler down the side, back, and belly of the fish. Always go against the scales, from the tail end towards the head. If you do not have a fish scaler, you can use the edge of a spoon or the back/top of a knife. As you are "raking" the fish, the scales will peel off. Keep raking until no more scales peel off.  Rinse the fish, if necessary, to get rid of any excess scales. This may take a while for fish that have tiny scales. De-scaling a fish can be messy. Consider working on top of a newspaper. This way, you can just crumple up the mess and toss it out when you are done. You will be cutting into the fish at a downward angle. Always cut from just behind the fin towards the head, but do not cut through the spine. These are the three cuts you will have to make:  Cut from behind the side fin down to the gills. Flip the fish over and repeat the same cut on the other side. Turn the fish onto its back. from the behind two underside/pectoral fins down to the throat. Grab the fish by the head with one hand and the body with the other. Quickly twist and snap the head off. Pull away any guts that come with it and discard them as well. Slip the tip of the knife into the "vent" or anal opening. Cut towards the head. Keep the cut shallow so that you don't pierce the guts. If you pierce them, you might taint the meat. Turn the fish onto its back and spread it open, like a book or hot dog bun. Pull the guts out and discard them. If you see a kidney near the backbone, use a spoon to scrape it out. Run the tip of your knife down the center of the fish, right where the backbone would be. This pierces the membrane and exposes the bloodline. Use a stiff-bristled brush to clean out the mess. You want to remove the bloodline because it can give the fish a bitter taste after you cook it. Gently massage the flesh to get rid of any guts or blood. Run your finger down the center of the fish, where the bloodline was. Lay the fish down on its side, and spread it open. Cut the vent out at an angle. Flip the fish over, and cut the other side of the vent out. Start at the tail. Hold the knife so that the blade is almost parallel to the cutting board, but at a slight downward angle. Peel the skin up and slide the blade between the skin and the flesh. Carefully saw the flesh away from the skin. It helps to pull the skin up and towards you as you go. Some fish, especially bottom-dwelling fish, should be skinned. Other fish, such as salmon and trout, are often cook with their skin on.
Summary: Lay the fish down on a cutting board. Trim all the fins off using a pair of scissors. Remove the scales. Make three cuts around the head. Snap the head off and discard it. Cut the fish's belly open. Remove the guts. Cut through the spinal membrane and remove the bloodline. Rinse the fish under cold water. Cut the "vent" or anal opening out. Consider skinning the fish.

Problem: Article: . The first thing to do to look effortlessly stylish is to make sure that you’re wearing clothes that you feel are good for your body type. Since effortless style is supposed to be subtle, you’ll need well fitting clothes in order to get the elegant, expensive, stylish look from your clothing. You may want garments that make you look thinner and the perfect height, with everything in proportion. Effortless style is mainly based around classic looks. Dressing for current trends just shows that you put way too much thought into that outfit and that you’ve been following fashion news like a broker watching stocks. Choose classic styles in classic cuts for a more effortless look that looks good for years. This means women should beware of floor length casual dresses in favor of knee-length, for example, while men should shy away from skinny-legged suit trousers in favor of something more loose-fitting. What colors are popular and what colors are considered absolutely hideous is very dependent on time and place. Just look at your mom’s clothes from the 1970s, for example. In order to look effortlessly stylish, you’re going to want a more timeless look, which means sticking to more muted and neutral colors. This can, however, be broken up with bold accent colors, especially on accessories.   Muted colors include tan, black, white, denim/navy blue, and gray. Good accent colors include most shades of red, many shades of blue, plum/eggplant purple, golden yellow (like rubber ducks or tulips), and emerald green. Be careful of certain colors. Be wary of other greens and yellows, and generally avoid oranges, as these colors are very prone to going in and out of fashion, but, if you think they are stylish, go for it. Busy prints and textures (like fuzzy/fluffy/feathered fabric) can quickly make an outfit look dated and unstylish, as these tend to be in fashion only for a season or a year at most. Next year it will be another pattern, so why bother? Look effortlessly stylish by keeping your clothes in style across decades, not months. To look really stylish, you want your clothes to look expensive. You can make cheap clothes look expensive but investing in some actually expensive items might be a good idea. A few choice pieces of hard-to-fake luxury items, such as a nice sweater or wool coat, can really take your wardrobe up a notch. Having a limited number of nicer items is preferable to having a large number of very cheap-looking items. If you really want to put the effortless into effortless style, you’ll want a wardrobe where nearly all of the pieces match with each other. This will let you get dressed based on comfort, style preference, or weather conditions, instead of being limited by color or style combinations. Use a single clothing style (vintage, modern, etc.) and the use a single color palette (this should be helped if you followed our advice to use muted colors with limited bold accents). Looking stylish means your clothes are going to have to look well maintained. No stains, no holes, no loose threads, no wrinkles. If you want your clothes to look maintained, then the best way to do that is to maintain them! Keep your clothes clean, fold and store them correctly, and do other basic maintenance as the needs arise (e.g. sewing minor holes). What you probably don’t realize about models and famous people is that part of the reason they look so stylish is because their clothes fit their body perfectly.  How do you get clothes to fit perfectly? Get them tailored, of course! Find a reliable tailor in your area to alter your clothes so that they perfectly for your body. Even some department stores will do this for you.  It’s not as expensive as it sounds. Tailoring a shirt often costs as little as $10-20, pants around $30-40. It may seem like a silly added expense, but having clothes tailored once and keeping them maintained and will help you look amazing for the next ten years. It’s a worthy investment.

Wear clothes that flatter your shape Stick to classic cuts. Choose muted, neutral colors and bold accents. Avoid busy prints and textures. Buy strategically. Create an interchangeable collection. Take care of your clothes. Get items tailored.
