Abstract: A fish scaling tool comprises a handle with an angled head formed of two forked tines. A pair of blade assemblies are attached to the tines and extend downwardly from the head. The blade assemblies each have two rows of serrated, triangular-shaped teeth. On each blade assembly, the rows of teeth are angled outwardly with respect to each other. The handle features a contoured cover with recesses to provide a sure grip for the user. The tool provides an easy, reliable means to scale any fish, particularly those fish that are generally difficult to scale, such as the larger saltwater gamefish.
