I usually clean them by cutting in the middle of the back.first I put them in a bucket of water,pull them out,cut off the head tail and all 4 feet. then cut the back and stick a finger of each hand in the cut and pull.the skin pulls off like a shirt. never touching the meat.the water keeps the hair stuck to the skin.

I am going to try your way the next time I take some.I always plan to try it , but forget until it is too late.[&:]
