First cut off the head cause that's where the poison is and it would be hell if you were to accidentally get poked by the fangs.

How do you tan fish skin?
In researching the topic of tanning fish skin. I have noted that the tanning of fishskin is not much different from the tanning of most other leathers. Remove the fat, meat, and scales. Then treat with a curing substance. One company uses plant based curing agents, though the process is kept a secret. A full compilation of various fish skin specific tanning methods should be established here.Taken from http://poorbuthappy.com/yourthing/post/rare-information-on-tanning-fish-skinsobstruse---by-eskimo-woman/ :Traditional Eskimo Fish Tanning MethodUrine tanning chemistryWithin the leather trade, urine has been used for dehairing skins, fortanning skins and for washing skins.Urine contains formic acid and urinase, and uric acid, among other things.These acids have a preservative effect on the skin.When urine is left to stand ammonia is formed, which is a strong base. Ifa hide sits in urine for some time, the basic environment will begin tohave a dehairing effect.The ammonia influences the skin by splitting the naturally occurring fats,to form glycerol and free fatty acids. These free fatty acids canpenetrate the hide and react with the fibers of the dermis; the skin istanned. When ammonia is used as a cleaning liquid, it is it's saponifyingproperties that are being exploited.I have made a few tries at urine tanning of fish skin. The recipes Istarted with come from Rita Pitka Blumenstein, who lives on Nelson Islandin southwestern Alaska. She relates the following:"Fishskins were used for mukluks, mittens, water carriers, andraincoats....The king salmon is used for boots, heavy-duty boots. Onlyfemale silver salmon is used for hats for girls. And the pike skin is forwater jugs. The trout is for bags...."You take the skin off and soak it in the water, and then you scrape itwith a sea shell. Some fish you have to scale; some fish you don't. Likepike and white fish, you've got to scale it, you soak it in urine. Theurine has to come from a young boy baby before weaning. It doesn't containany chemicals, just momma's milk. For thicker skins, you have to use theurine from an older boy, around the time his voice changes."[The skin soaks in the urine] sometimes half a day, sometimes overnight.The longer you soak it, the softer it gets. Then my mother used touse[Fells] Naphtha soap, and she sudsed it in the water and then cooledoff the water and then put the skin in it. Then she puts aspen shavingsin the water and cools it off, then you rinse it in clear water and wringit out. My mother used a towel to absorb the water. I asked her one timein camp, 'What did you use when you didn't have cloth?' She said they useddried moss. And then you put it on a smooth board, stick it there, theinside facing in. Then when it dries, it will just peel off itself. Youstore it away, and when you are ready to use it, you wet the shavings thatyou saved, and you pad them onto the fishskin on the outer side. Then youroll it and leave it until it dries. Then you shake it off." [Hickman1988: 19ff.]I have started from this recipe but have used woman's urine for 10-12hours and then rinsed the skins, washed them in water with soap, laid themin a willow bark bath 10-12 hours, greased them with, for example, trainoil, dried them and softened them.Thompson Conservation Lab.7549 N.
