Catching fish is fun. Eating fish is even better. But there’s a messy, crucial step between those two moments that can either be a dreaded chore or a satisfying, streamlined task. The difference? A proper fish cleaning station.
While many anglers are still hacking away on crusty old wooden tables or whatever flat surface they can find, companies like KillerDock are redefining what it means to clean your catch with efficiency, style, and minimal cleanup.
Custom Stations That Actually Hold Up
Down South, summer storms are serious business. Dock setups don’t just need to look good—they need to survive. That’s where KillerDock sets itself apart. According to the team, the stations are built to “set it and forget it.” Once installed, they hold up through extreme weather, perform well day after day, and still look sharp.
The company uses marine-grade aluminum for its framework, finished with a two-part resin coating that handles even bleach-based cleaners with ease. It’s more than just good looks—it’s resilience by design. Whether it’s a casual backyard dock or a commercial marina, KillerDock stations are storm-ready and corrosion-resistant.
Made for All Spaces and All Anglers
Not every fishing spot has the same layout, and not every fisherman needs the same size setup. KillerDock’s Upscale and Slam series stations come in multiple widths, from compact models ideal for solo cleaning, up to large stations accommodating three people comfortably.
The tables can be installed with either a flat base or a 90º base, offering flexibility for mounting on docks, seawalls, piers, or patios. The company even considered how much of your dock space a station takes up—some setups need as little as 8 inches.
And when it comes to waste disposal, users have options: slotted tables that drain into the water, table-top drains that hook up to PVC pipes, or below-dock draining systems. All designed to keep fish guts off your shoes and your dock clean.
Not Just for Saltwater
Though many imagine fish cleaning stations as saltwater-centric gear, the team behind KillerDock points out that these units are just as effective at a hunting camp, lakeside cabin, or anywhere freshwater species are processed. From butchering wild game to prepping bass and brim, the stations are multipurpose.
Maintenance-Free Cleaning
Cleaning the cleaning station? It’s almost a non-issue. As Josh Tidmore noted, “Just rinse it down with your plumbed-in tap water. I’ve had mine for years and have only washed it with soap once or twice.”
That’s largely thanks to the King Starboard® cutting surface, a UV-stable, chemically resistant, high-density polyethylene that won’t dull your knives or absorb odors. Even after years of use, the surface can be replaced easily with a new panel from KillerDock if needed.
KillerDock Furniture: Built Like the Stations
KillerDock has expanded well beyond fish cleaning stations. Their growing line of dockside furniture is built with the same storm-proof mindset. Like the stations, these pieces are crafted from marine-grade aluminum with durable coatings and modern, sleek styling.
One marina partner in Tampa Bay reported that after two hurricanes swept through, KillerDock’s furniture was “the only thing left standing.” It’s heavy enough to stay put in bad weather, but light enough to move when needed. The cushions resist moisture, odors, and mildew—and even the supports beneath the cushions have evolved. The newer composite deck boards offer a finished look that works with or without cushions, making the furniture a smart dual-use investment.
Smart Space Solutions
One of the smartest recent additions is the dock box bracket system. These robust aluminum brackets offset your dock box over the water to preserve deck space. Whether you’re housing gear, a live bait tank, or just want to clean up your dock’s footprint, these brackets can handle the load. They come in various lengths for different-sized boxes, and like all of KillerDock’s products, they’re “way overbuilt”—by design.
From Local Startup to Global Reach
What started as a father-and-son project to solve a personal inconvenience has grown into a full-scale operation. KillerDock now delivers products across the U.S. and even abroad. “We wanted to fix a problem we had, and it turns out a lot of people had the same problem,” said Jay Williamson.
Now, their products are showing up in everything from South Florida resorts to fishing camps in Belize. And it’s not just about the product—it’s about the pride in the work. “The guys building these tables and benches put their heart into it,” said Williamson. “They’re building these products all day, every day.”
Final Thoughts
Cleaning fish doesn’t have to mean fighting flies, sweating under the sun, or hosing down guts from your deck. KillerDock has taken what was once an ugly part of fishing and made it into something efficient, beautiful, and built to last.
Whether you’re after a compact setup for your weekend dock or a full-service solution for a commercial pier, KillerDock offers fish cleaning stations—and furniture—that combine function and form in a way few others do. The investment pays off in cleanliness, convenience, and curb appeal. And judging by their track record, this gear will be on your dock for years to come, no matter how wild the weather gets.
