Abstract
A fish cleaning board has a lower surface that slopes to the rear. A fence around the edges contains liquid and debris. An elongate, flat horizontal fish cleaning platform extends upward from the lower surface so that liquid and debris drain off. One or more additional platforms extend upward to the rear of the fish cleaning platform for holding cleaned fish portions. A depression at the center rear of the lower surface cooperates with a hole in the fence and a drain tube to drain material from the board. One or more recesses in the top of the fence hold tools or rigged baits away from the cleaning operation. The board may be vacuum formed from a single plastic sheet for economy of manufacture and easy cleaning, A flange around the perimeter extends downward. It is adapted to securely engage the top of a cooler chest and maintain the sloping angle of the lower surface when the cooler rests on a horizontal surface. The same sloping angle is maintained when the flange rests upon a flat horizontal surface such as a table.
