A urokotori (うろこ取り; scale remover) is a utensil used in Japanese cuisine to remove the scales from the skin of fish before cooking.[1][2] Although it is possible to remove the scales with a knife, this is more difficult and there is a higher risk of cutting the skin of the fish, especially with small fishes; knife-scaling also risks cutting one's hand.

The urokotori is pulled across the skin of the fish from the tail to the head repeatedly to remove the scales.
