re: Do your wives/GF’s/SO’s help you clean/debone….

Wife - hard pass

daughter - yep - she helps clean fish (she likes to fish) and will help process waterfowl (she doesnt hunt)

Obviously I have trained my daughter better than my FIL did w/ his daughter ;)

No, she complains if I ever have fish I didn't clean at the marina.

Oddly enough, she loves all the meals made out of that fish. Sure is interesting.

My wife will cook it, but she ain't touching fish or deer until they're ready to hit the skillet.

My wife hunts, fishes, will clean the fish and small game herself. She does chickens all by herself. She helps with the cleaning and processing of deer and large beef cows. Have some good stories about processing a cow.

My wife processes the fish I catch and the game my son kills by eating it after the dirty work is done.

Not skin or debone but helps with making ground meat and vacuum packing.

My dad taught me how to clean fish and my husband usually explains as he cleans any game we kill, but I don't think he trusts me to help with any his precious meats or fish.
I always try to hang out and keep him company while he cleans any of our catch/kill though.
But when it comes to peeling seafood he's out. I usually get stuck peeling it myself and we get 60 quarts or so of fresh shrimp each year.

Mine doesn't but I never ask for help either.
