Use an large, sharp knife. Remove the fins.  Hold the tail and run the flat of the knife 'the wrong way' down the body of the fish a few times.  I find this is best done under cold running water as it washes away the scales as they are removed. Give it a good rinse once you're finished and that's all there is to it.
