Once done, place the catfish on a cutting board while still holding it. Then feel with your fingers until you find the edge of the catfish's head.

Once you have found the limit of the catfish's head, immediately pierce that part with a knife. If so, don't immediately pull out the knife, but move it to the right and left until the catfish's neck bone is broken. This can be indicated by a "clack" sound.

Because the neck bone was broken, the catfish died, meaning it couldn't move at all. The next step, immediately clean the inside of the catfish's stomach and gills.
