She’s one of the returning fan favourites competing for a chance to win $250,000 on MasterChef: Back to Basics. 

But Sarah Clare, 33, appeared to struggle filleting a Murray cod during an intense challenge on Thursday night’s episode. 

And fans were quick to point it out on social media, with one viewer writing: ‘I’m not a vegan but my heart is breaking at the butchering Sarah’s fish is copping’.

‘Has Sarah finished amputating that fish yet?’ another asked. 

A third chipped in: ‘Me, a person who does not eat fish and has never had to cut one up before, thinking what are you doing Sarah, Christ’.

‘Spoiler alert: Sarah makes a complete dish and judges are stunned,’ added another.

‘I know I’ve only got one filet, but I’m butchering this fish,’ she continued.
