Ask your Rov, but I believe it's acceptable. AFAIK, even if the fish was cut with a treif knife, you'd still be able to use it (I don't know if you need to cut away part or if washing it off is enough.)

you have to have your own knife and board and you can cover the counter/or the scales if you want to be more careful and you have to watch them cutting the fish. I think also you have to check the fish beforehand for fins and scales bc many treif fish have the same appearance as kosher fish

I once brought my own knife and board, and got them to clean it for me there, but I find that they do it so fast, and not as well.

Now, I get whole fish and someone comes to my house and cleans it here. Depending on how much you need, this might be a better option, and if you find s/o who is still studying in culinary school, they will do it for a lot less $$. This works well for me since he comes every few months and cleans a ton of fish and I make it into loaves of gefilte fish and freeze.
