Enclosed Container for Fish Scaling and Food Preparation

Abstract

A self-contained food cleaning and preparation device is provided. The device is a fully enclosed transparent container having a flat bottom and a geometrically domed lid that secures to the bottom via a pair of latches disposed on the side of the lid or bottom. Two armholes covered by a transparent film are disposed on one or more sides of the lid. The film may be perforated for easy opening, or may be solid with cutting indicia disposed thereon. Arms are inserted into the holes through the film to access the interior surface of the container bottom, which is a food preparation surface. Fish may be cleaned on the interior surface without making a mess on an underlying counter.
