What Is The Best Fish Cleaning Station?

Picture this: Sun’s out! You’ve been on the water all day, cruising, listening to your favorite play list. The fish have been biting and even better, you’ve been catching! It’s time to head in, you have a cooler filled with fresh (and delicious) fish. And guess what, you’re actually excited to clean your catch. Why? It’s because you have a SeaWard Fish Cleaning Station!

Let’s look at why SeaWard’s Fish Cleaning Stations are the best.

Indestructibly Made with Top Marine-Grade Products: Best Fish Cleaning Station

The first thing you want to consider is the materials used throughout the design of the fish cleaning station. Older stations were often made from pressure-treated and sealed wood, which eventually rot from extended exposure to saltwater and outdoor elements; wood surfaces also trap moisture and bacteria easily and are harder to clean than table materials like stainless steel or HDPE, making them a weaker choice for food prep.

SeaWard Systems uses a combination of high-quality materials such as tubular marine-grade aluminum, stainless steel hardware, and King StarBoard. The frame is made from resilient tubular marine-grade aluminum with 316L stainless steel hardware and can withstand 150 MPH wind loads. The cutting surface is a marine-grade polymer called King Starboard, which will not rust, delaminate, or rot when exposed to water, humidity, or the UV rays of the sun. This high-density polyethylene work surface creates a flat, non-porous tabletop that resists odors and mildew, will not rot or decay over time, and stays easy to keep clean without dulling knives. The front of the table features a lip that helps control the mess and keeps the flat work surface clean by moving runoff away from your feet and draining it from the rear. SeaWard has taken into account galvanic corrosion by using design techniques that guarantee the aluminum and stainless steel (dissimilar metals) are separate. By using top-of-the-line marine-grade products, SeaWard created a fish cleaning station that doesn’t corrode and is long-lasting and durable.

1 – Perfect Combination of Style & Functionality

Not only is it important for your table to last, but it is equally important to look good and function well. SeaWard’s tables were designed and engineered by an avid fisherman who took this into consideration when developing this product. The company offers two models with many customization options to add on, giving uniqueness to your station.

  • The Edge features an Alnet Extrablock Shadecloth awning that is durable, fade-resistant, and stands up to life on the water. It is retrofitted with an accessory tray, a water connection system, and your logo on the backsplash for a more complete fish prep setup, with a hose holder that helps keep the washdown area organized.
  • The Chase is equipped with all the features of The Edge except for the awning, making this model more compact in structure and the right fit for many docks.

Both models are delivered with a group of standard features that combine sleek style and thought-out functionality. Included, you can add your boat name or a logo to the backsplash of the table and choose between three color options for long-lasting powder coating. All stations are designed with a concealed waterline and base-mounted water connection. Plus, an accessory tray with built-in accessories and tool holders for easy access to tools, knives, and pliers, along with a stainless-steel drink holder, knife sharpener, wash-down hose, and spray nozzle.

Additionally, you can further customize your station by adding on weatherproof LED lighting for the post-sunset fish cleaning session after a day on the water. Install a duplex 120V, convenience outlet for when you need to recharge equipment or simply for a phone charge to take pictures of your catch. If you simply need multifunctional storage shelves and cabinets, storage drawers can be added for convenient gear organization, along with extra storage for bait or gear to match your cleaning process and support your routine, they will build any or all of these to fit your table. And don’t worry, if there is something that you feel the need for, they will help make it happen.

2 – Every Dock is Different

Your dock and its layout play a huge role in the fish cleaning station you purchase. Most buyers compare portable folding setups, permanent dock-mounted stations, commercial-style layouts, boat filet tables, and fish table options for dedicated dock use. The dock material, installation area, height restrictions, dimensions, comfortable working height, and other factors should be considered before purchasing one.

SeaWard offers many sizes and mounting options to choose from, including configurations for different setups. A permanent dock setup is typically larger, sturdier, and more stable than a portable option. It is also heavier and better able to resist the sun, salt, and other outdoor elements.

SeaWard’s dock-mounted fish cleaning stations are built with powder-coated marine-grade aluminum, 316L stainless steel hardware, and durable King StarBoard cutting surfaces to thrive in harsh marine conditions. With multiple sizes, mounting styles, and finish options available, the station can be configured to fit the dock space and match the surrounding setup. If you have a unique circumstance or do not find what you are looking for on the website, the SeaWard team can help.

3 – Overall Ease of Installation for Your Fish Cleaning Table

Finally, no one wants to spend hours putting together a dock fish cleaning station. Shoppers sometimes compare a permanent dock model with a portable or lighter-weight option that may be cheaper and easier to transport and assemble. The problem is, they’re not necessarily easier to put together. And if you do go that route, you sacrifice quality, looks and durability. Here’s the good news. SeaWard offers installation in the state of Florida and shipping all over the country. If you opt for shipping, the stations are delivered with instructions on how to mount them to your dock and assemble the pieces together, so you can review.
