Sooo...I saved the skull from a good size trigger. Looking for techniques to "skeletonize" it.
Tried boiling the last one and wound up with a pot o'bones
Looking for ideas...
living in Arizona, I assume the sun will be my new friend...any hints

let it sit for a few weeks where the critters won't get it.

I used to dry/clean shark jaws by wiring them to a fence post or bush on the ground and letting the ants do the work.......

ants will help clean things up a little

I left mine in the sun, they stink for a long time.

I'm with the sun crowd. The stink will stop, eventually.

Ants , yellowjackets , crayfish , dermestid beetles are your friends.
I wouldn't boil anything but soaking it occasionally could help
I think I would try various types of ants nests . Maybe put a weighted srceened box over the fish and ants to keep it from being carried off by a cat
, coyote or coon and let them do the work.
How about posting some photos of your progress?
Fish heads are cool

the smell...my swordfish bill took 25 years to stop stinking
