Appreciation post for the fish guy at the Portland farmers market who taught me how to break down a whole salmon

Honestly, watching him work with a $30 knife and zero waste made me realize my prep station at the restaurant is way too cluttered, anyone else ever get humbled by a random vendor?

That whole "zero waste" part really hit me hard. I started keeping a small bowl for scraps on my cutting board after seeing a vendor do the same, and it cut down my cleanup time by a lot. Also switched to a thinner, sharper knife like the one he was using and it made such a difference for precise cuts. Did you end up changing anything about your setup after watching him?

Yeah the scrap bowl thing is SO simple but it really does make a huge difference. I did the same thing and now I feel lost without it.
