Stan,

Fish is Kosher, except shellfish.

You do not have to do anything when cutting it up except keep it away from other meats and dairy.
Actually you should have a seperate set of untensils used only for fish.
You then to make it Kosher is to have it blessed by a Rabbi.

Aloha, Pete

Here's a detailed explanation:
Aside from such mystical influences, fish play other roles in our lives, primarily as a source of food. The Torah requires that Kosher fish must have both scales and fins. [The Talmud discusses other characteristics distinctive to Kosher fish that may be considered in determining the status of a given sample. The Talmud further teaches us that all fish that have scales also have fins, so in practice Kosher fish are identified by their scales. Obviously, crustaceans (such as lobster) and other shellfish (such as clams) are not Kosher because they lack scales. All "scales" however, are not Halachikally equal. Halacha defines a fish scale as a growth on the side of a fish similar to a fingernail – it must be removable without damage to the skin of the fish. Sturgeon, although it has primitive bony plates on its sides, is not considered Kosher because the scales cannot be removed without damaging the flesh. Sharks are similarly not Kosher, because their skin is covered with tiny teeth-like armor, which are not considered scales at all. The first step in determining a Kosher fish is verifying that it has a Kosher scale. Although many Kosher fish are completely covered with scales, Halacha requires only a minimum number of scales to accord a fish Kosher status (see Y.D. 83:1). Tuna, for example, have very few scales, yet are nevertheless considered a Kosher fish. Two additional factors, however, serve to complicate these determinations. First, a given species of fish may be known by five or more names, some of which are common to known Kosher species. "Rock Salmon", for example, is a non-Kosher fish (otherwise known as Atlantic Wolfish), and bears no relationship to the common Kosher species of true salmon. Furthermore, although Halacha requires an accepted Kosher tradition for considering birds (and according to many authorities, even animals) as Kosher species, no such Halachik requirement exists for fish. Each of the hundreds of species of fish on the market may be evaluated as to its Kosher status, even if it is newly discovered. It is therefore critical to evaluate a given species very carefully before making a determination as to its Kosher status.
