Extreme weather along the Southeast and Gulf Coast has taken a toll on many waterfront properties. Docks and the beloved fish cleaning stations attached to them have often been among the casualties. But with that loss comes an opportunity—one to upgrade to a more durable, better-designed solution built to withstand both time and the elements.
Whether your previous setup was damaged or you’re just ready for an upgrade, a KillerDock fish cleaning table deserves serious consideration.
To help anglers make informed choices, we spoke with Jay Williamson of KillerDock on an episode of Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report podcast. He shared the latest insights into what to look for when choosing a fish cleaning station—and why KillerDock stands out.
A Family Business Built for the Water
KillerDock, based in Mobile, Alabama, is a family-owned company known for building high-quality fish cleaning units. They offer six models, all crafted from marine-grade aluminum and built to last with state-of-the-art components.
One thing that sets them apart? Continuous innovation.
“We’re constantly improving our products to make them perform better and deliver more value,” Williamson explained. “From the clear anti-corrosion coating that resists blood and water stains to redesigned canopies with airfoil support bars, we’re always thinking about function and durability.”
These details aren’t just for show. The new canopy design improves wind resistance while giving your dock a sleek, modern look.
Materials and Corrosion Resistance Matter
KillerDock takes corrosion seriously. While other manufacturers may mix metals carelessly, KillerDock uses 5052 marine-grade aluminum, 316 stainless hardware, and nylon washers to prevent galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals.
“We go beyond just using high-grade materials,” Williamson said. “Every detail is engineered to prolong the product’s integrity.”
Choose the Right Table for Your Dock and Your Style
Fish cleaning stations are a long-term investment, so it’s important to consider your needs and your available dock space. KillerDock offers two main product lines:
-
Upscale Series – Offers a premium table with customizable features
-
Slam Series – Includes an overhead canopy for sun and rain protection
Tables come in sizes from 3.5 to 7.5 feet, and canopies are 2 feet wider than the tables, offering generous shade without obstructing your view. Options include:
-
Drain and hose location
-
Mounting base type
-
Cutting surface options (solid or slotted draining)
“If you plan to clean large fish or want two people to work side by side, the 7.5-foot model is ideal,” Williamson said.
Even if your dock space is limited, KillerDock offers solutions. Their table models extend over the water—taking up only about 8 inches of dock width while still providing 19–21 inches of working surface.
Designed for Drainage and Easy Cleaning
A key design advantage is the built-in drainage system. The surface is slightly angled to direct waste and water through drains in the legs, keeping your feet and dock clean. Each model includes built-in hose stations for quick rinse-downs.
“The table’s lip prevents spillage, and everything funnels down and away,” Williamson explained. “For high-volume cleaning, we also offer slotted surface options.”
Simple Installation, Shipped Ready-to-Assemble
All KillerDock units ship pre-crated with everything needed for installation. Most setups can be completed by the customer.
“If you can hang a TV mount, you can install our cleaning station,” Williamson said. “Even with canopy models, it’s straightforward with just a few more bolts.”
New: KillerDock Dock Furniture
In addition to fish cleaning tables, KillerDock now offers marine-grade dock furniture—including aluminum-framed chairs and cabanas. Like their stations, this furniture is built with:
-
Proprietary anti-corrosion coating
-
Sunbrella™ cushions that dry quickly and detach via velcro
-
Heavy-duty mounting hardware to stay secure during storms
It’s a perfect complement to any dock, offering both comfort and peace of mind—engineered with the same thoughtfulness as their cleaning tables.
Final Thoughts
When you’re rebuilding or upgrading your dock, it’s worth investing in a fish cleaning station that offers durability, smart design, and long-term value. KillerDock delivers all that and more—backed by local craftsmanship and a commitment to constant innovation.
Whether you’re a weekend fisherman or a seasoned offshore angler, choosing the right fish-cleaning table—and the right company—will make your dock a more functional, enjoyable space for years to come.
