"
If the gills stay attached to the heart, go ahead and pull them off. Drop them in the water." she said to the boy.
"
Drop the heart in the water. This will allow it to wash off the blood and the plimpy slime." She dropped her plimpy heart in the water. "
Now you should proceed to removing the gills. This should be quite easy now that the heart is out. Once they are out, drop them into the water as well. Take the clean heart and place it in your harvesting tray... and it will disappear." She demonstrated.
"
Once that's done, remove the spine... all the other organs should be attached to it, and easy to remove."
