- Instructions for Carving a Watermelon Fish To make a stable base, trim 1/4 inch off the bottom lengthwise. Cut half-circles in a rectangular pattern across the top of the watermelon with a melon baller; then, remove and set aside. The top fin and tail will be made out of this component.
- Scoop the Flesh Out. Cut off the melon balled fin piece and the tail shape from the rectangle piece that was previously placed aside. Use strong, rounded toothpicks to secure the fin and tail. Utilizing a melon baller, remove the eyes. Put it back in, rind side out, after trimming the area around the eye socket. Slice through the rind three inches on either side of the stem with a paring knife, pointing the knife at a downward angle above the stem for the mouth. Internally, expel the mouth. For the side fin, use a melon baller to make three slices onto the side of the fin to create the curves. To form the fin’s top and bottom, make a series of straight cuts.
