Morphology

evisceration + of + the + fish

The phrase is fully compositional: 'evisceration' (removal of internal organs) combined with 'of the fish' straightforwardly denotes removing a fish's internal organs. This follows a standard noun + of + object pattern and has clear cross-linguistic equivalents, so a learner who knows the constituent words would be able to derive the meaning.

Etymology

Evisceration of the fish comes from the simple action of cutting open a fish and taking out its insides, the 'organs'. Fishers and cooks do this to clean the fish and keep the meat fresh, so the phrase means 'removal of the internal organs' when preparing or studying a fish.
