Cook in microwave for 1.5 mins or until flesh falling off ... scrape flesh off while eating them - very easy, delicious and healthier than frying!

I saw a technique where you cut off the head from the top of the fish downwards, then in the same motion slice off a tiny strip from the belly. Head and guts then all come out and when you have done a few this gets really fast. I like keeping the heads on but this gutting techniques is so much faster. S.
