This article builds upon Amerindian epistemologies and develops a perspectival ethnography of industrial Northwestern European skilled modes of engaging with wild fish. It explores Amerindian perspectivism as an ethnographic methodology grounded on animic premises: subject or object status are relative and relational, experience is intersubjective; the body is permeable, and its perspectives can be exchanged through tools and mimetic processes. Thus subjectivity is collectively constituted and the fundamental means of knowing, leading to the acknowledgement of subjectivity in others. Documenting a perspectival exchange guided by Shetland fishers trawling for monkfish, the article focuses on some possible dynamics and affective affordances involved in gutting processes. Gutting is physically and emotionally taxing labour that involves brief but intimate encounters with responsive beings that may offer effective resistance, affecting fishers or damaging their own value as catch. It entails the possibility of developing an intimate knowledge of fish anatomy, ecology, and behaviour, as well as potentially awareness of fish suffering and fishiness, an empathic quality. The research reveals how Shetland fishers maintain animic modes of learning and being in their understandings of the body and fish. The ethnography presents first-hand insights into ‘relations of trust’, which, although widely reported, continue to be dismissed as implausible. These relations and their dynamics are further attested through Shetlands háfwords and other language practices that establish synecdochical relations between fishers and fish, restricting violence and making it endurable. These insights problematize violence, illustrating the social skills of fishing and the political dynamics of predation, suggesting paths towards addressing cruelty.

去除苏格兰设得兰群岛的鱼腥味

本文以美洲印第安人的认识论为基础，发展了西北欧工业技能模式与野生鱼类打交道的透视民族志。它将美洲印第安人的视角主义作为一种基于动画前提的民族志方法论进行了探索：主体或客体地位是相对的和相关的，经验是主体间的；身体是可渗透的，它的观点可以通过工具和模仿过程进行交换。因此，主观性是集体构成的，是认识的基本手段，导致承认他人的主观性。这篇文章记录了一场由拖网捕捞安康鱼的设德兰群岛渔民引导的观点交流，重点关注了内脏过程中涉及的一些可能的动态和情感可供性。去内脏是一种身体和情感上的繁重劳动，涉及与反应灵敏的生物短暂但亲密的接触，这些生物可能会提供有效的抵抗力，影响渔民或损害其作为渔获物的价值。它需要发展对鱼类解剖学、生态学和行为的深入了解的可能性，以及对鱼类痛苦和痛苦的潜在意识。鱼腥味，一种同理心的品质。该研究揭示了设得兰群岛渔民如何在他们对身体和鱼类的理解中保持动物学习和存在的模式。民族志提供了对“信任关系”的第一手见解，尽管被广泛报道，但仍然被认为不可信。这些关系及其动态通过设得兰群岛的háfwords和其他语言实践得到进一步证明，这些语言实践在渔民和鱼类之间建立了寓意关系，限制了暴力并使其可以忍受。这些见解使暴力成为问题，说明了捕鱼的社交技巧和掠夺的政治动态，提出了解决残忍行为的途径。
